They'll have run out of RAM to store the subxact-related storage before that (not to mention most likely have exhausted the CommandCounter range, not to mention exhausted their patience --- it takes a good while even to exercise the 2^16-subxact case). I'm satisfied if we can approach that limit. Exceeding it will be a task for some other release. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
