Are there any plans to backpatch this into REL8_3_STABLE? It looks like I am
hitting a pretty serious performance regression on 8.3 with a stored
procedure that grabs a pretty big recordset, and loops through doing
insert....update on unique failures. The procedure get progressivly slower
the more records involved... and dbx shows me stuck in
TransactionIdIsCurrentTransactionId(). I can provide provide more details if
needed (lmk what your looking for) but it certainly looks like the issue
discussed here:
