Thanks for that. My comments were heartfelt, but not useful right now.
Hi Simon, I'm sorry if I gave the impression that I thought your work wasn't worthwhile, it is :(
I'm badly overdrawn already on my time budget, though that is my concern alone. There is more to do than I have time for. Pragmatically, if we aren't going to get there then I need to stop now, so I can progress other outstanding issues. All help is appreciated.
I've got your patch applied (but having some compilation problem), but I'm really not sure what to test really. I don't really understand the whole thing fully :/
I'm aiming for the minimum feature set - which means we do need to take care over whether that set is insufficient and also to pull any part that doesn't stand up to close scrutiny over the next few days.
Overall, my primary goal is increased robustness and availability for PostgreSQL...and then to have a rest!
Definitely!
Chris
