I think we're overblowing the pg_upgrade issue. Surely we don't need to preserve commit_ts data when upgrading across major versions; and pg_upgrade is perfectly prepared to remove old data when upgrading (actually it just doesn't copy it; consider pg_subtrans or pg_serial, for instance.) If we need to change binary representation in a future major release, we can do so without any trouble. -- Álvaro Herrera http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Training & Services -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
