Our case is 1) we use PL/PGSQL procedure1-->procedure2 (update table xxxx;commit); 2) application JDBC client
callprocedure1 (it's a long running job, sometimes it could last > 1hours). During this time window, other
PostgresqlJDBC clients (100-200) coming in in same time , then quickly see MultiXactoffset and SubtransSLRU increased
veryquickly.
Possible to increase Subtrans SLRU buffer size ? PL/PGSQL proc1--> procedure2(updates table) it use
substransationin procedure2 ,right?
Thanks,
James

Today, the only feasible solution is not to create more than 64 subtransactions (savepoints or PL/pgSQL EXCEPTION
clauses)per transaction.
Don't use extensions or the JDBC driver option to simulate statement level rollback, that is the road to hell.
You mean extensions to simulate a subtransaction like pg_background ? for JDBC driver option to simulate statement
levelrollback, could you share more details ?
Thanks,
James
