Imagine following scenario: 1. PREPARE happend 2. PREPARE decoded and sent where it should be sent 3. We got all responses from participating nodes and issuing COMMIT/ABORT 4. COMMIT/ABORT decoded and sent After step 3 there is no more memory state associated with that prepared tx, so if will fail between 3 and 4 then we can’t know GID unless we wrote it commit record (or table). -- Stas Kelvich Postgres Professional: http://www.postgrespro.com The Russian Postgres Company -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
