Hackers,
I'm trying to figure out how to log the subtransaction operations.
A simple idea would be to add the committed subxact Xids to the
xl_xact_commit and xl_xact_abort structs. However, this will be a
variable length array, and those structs already have variable length
arrays at the end (filenodes to drop). I don't see how would I overlay
that into a C struct.
A different idea would be to write a XLog record for subxact aborts
(which would include Xids of all committed child subxacts), and
at main transaction commit write another (different) XLog record, where
XLogRecord.Xid = mainTransactionXid, which would carry the committed
subtransactions.
Does this make any sense? Ideas, comments?
