At least in this example, it seems it wouldn't buy anything. HeapTupleSatisfiesVacuum doesn't call TransactionIdIsCurrentTransactionId, and while HeapTupleSatisfiesMVCC does, it falls out at that point and doesn't get to TransactionIdIsInProgress. So I'm not inclined to contort the API unless we can come up with an example where it's important. I'm off to work on the page-header-xid idea ... regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
