Re: 2-phase commit - Mailing list pgsql-hackers

Satoshi, can you get this ready for inclusion in 7.5?  We need a formal
proposal of how it will work from the user's perspective (new
commands?), and how it will internally work.  It seem Heikki Linnakangas
has also started working on this and perhaps he can help.

Ideally, we should have this proposal when we start 7.5 development in a
few weeks.

I know some people have concerns about 2-phase commit, from a
performance perspective and from a network failure perspective, but I
think there are enough people who want it that we should see how this
can be implemented with the proper safeguards.
