This is exactly why I think the whole proposal is a nonstarter. It is necessarily pushing more complexity into the postmaster, which means an overall reduction in system reliability. There are some things I'm willing to accept extra postmaster complexity for, but I say again that not one single one of the arguments made in this thread are convincing reasons to take that risk. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
