Re: What's the XID?

how can i prove that the xid had been increased by 1?

i do a test,

step 1. SELECT datname, age(datfrozenxid) FROM pg_database;
--> mydb age:33183

step 2. SELECT datname, age(datfrozenxid) FROM pg_database;
--> mydb age:33188

step 3. SELECT datname, age(datfrozenxid) FROM pg_database;
--> mydb age:33193

why always increased by 5?

Postgresql Ver:8.1.3
using pgAdminIII Query window
