Agreed, if you need "committed" to mean "committed" then no-wait isn't going to float your boat. But the point I was making is that the infrastructure Simon proposes (ie, a separate wal-writer process) might be useful for this case too, with a lot less extra code than Heikki is thinking about. Now maybe that won't work, but we should certainly not consider these as entirely-independent patches. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
