Ok, I understand. About this, when PostgreSQL has nested transactions, is it
already planned that every single statement runs within its own transaction, so
that if it goes bad, it doesn't abort the sorounding transaction?

Does anybody know where I can find more info on Write Ahead Log, i.e. when it
will be ready, and what its features will be?

Thanks.
