There's not a unique snapshot held by a particular process. Also, we don't want to expend the overhead to fully publish every snapshot. I think it's really necessary that the "sending" process take some deliberate action to publish a snapshot. > And please, not temp files if possible. Barring the cleanup issue, I don't see why not. This is a relatively low-usage feature, I think, so I wouldn't be much in favor of dedicating shmem to it even if the space requirement were predictable. 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
