Dan is still beating up on the latest patch with DBT-2, but I expect that I'll be posting a patch tomorrow with all known issues fixed, no known bugs, and reasonable performance -- except for the issue of how this work relates to hot standby in the 9.1 release. (We did find and fix a few bugs after V13, although most of our changes have been tweaking comments, and the bug fixes have mostly consisted of moving LW lock statements up or down a few lines.) If I get a solid answer on the SSI/HS issue before I post V14, I might be able to cover that, too, in that patch. I haven't wanted to totally write off the possibility of integrating them as long as discussion was ongoing; but if someone wants to assume the voice of Dr. McCoy and declare "It's dead, Jim," I can move on for now and come back to the issue for 9.2. In the mean time, I've been pondering the fact that many of those posting on SSI issues apparently haven't read even the Overview section of the Wiki page. http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Serializable I know how busy people are, so (inspired by the both the Geico commercial which they boast was put together on the xtranormal sight in 15 minutes or less, and the old favorite book "Einstein Simplified") I've put together an animated "movie" which punches a few key points from the overview in less than three minutes. Hopefully, what it lacks in detail it makes up for with brevity and humor. Oddly, the computer generated voice sorta mangled something near the beginning, which was supposed to be "I'm psyched", but sorta sounds like "I'm sorry". Computers -- you just can't rely on 'em. I hope people find it entertaining and at least slightly informative. :-) http://www.xtranormal.com/watch/8285377/?listid=20642536 I could have just kept on going, but I decided at the start that it had to be less than three minutes. Also, please make allowances for the fact that while I went over 15 minutes putting that "movie" together, it wasn't by all that much.... -Kevin
