A new API in core is not completely mandatory either. As mentioned during last week developer meeting to Seki-san, as the list of PGXACT and PGPROC is in shared memory you could as well develop your own version. Still there is a limitation with KnownAssignedXidsGetOldestXmin in recovery, which may be better if exposed at quick glance but you actually don't care for storage, right? If the change makes sense, it seems to me that making a routine more extensible makes the most sense in this case if the API extension can be used by modules with more goals in mind. -- Michael -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
