[ Shrug... ] I remain of the opinion that 2PC is a solution in search of a problem, because it does not solve the single point of failure issue (just moves same from the database to the 2PC controller). But some people want it anyway, and they aren't going to be satisfied that we are an "enterprise grade" database until we can check off this particular bullet point. As long as the implementation doesn't impose any significant costs when not being used (which AFAICS Heikki's method doesn't), I think we gotta hold our noses and do it. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
