It's an independent telling of the tale, and could reasonably go near the top, as in the attached draft. (I'm not too sure how to cite book chapters in DocBook, so feel free to critique that. Also, I noticed that the ports12 item was not in alphabetical order, so I moved it.) > Unrelated to that, but reading history.sgml I found this sentend at the = end of > the page to be sort of misleading: > "Details about what has happened in PostgreSQL since then can be found > in Appendix E." Fixed that too. BTW, I contacted Hellerstein to make sure he's okay with this, and he is. regards, tom lane ------- =_aaaaaaaaaa0 Content-Type: text/x-diff; name="add-citation-for-hellerstein-paper-v1.patch"; charset="us-ascii" Content-ID: <82578.1720124566.2@sss.pgh.pa.us> Content-Description: add-citation-for-hellerstein-paper-v1.patch Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable diff --git a/doc/src/sgml/biblio.sgml b/doc/src/sgml/biblio.sgml index cd8aa3e8aa..443e2d6fac 100644 --- a/doc/src/sgml/biblio.sgml +++ b/doc/src/sgml/biblio.sgml @@ -230,27 +230,6 @@ ssimkovi@ag.or.at Proceedings and Articles = - - - <ulink url=3D"https://arxiv.org/pdf/1208.4179">Serializable S= napshot Isolation in PostgreSQL</ulink> - - - D. - Ports - - - K. - Grittner - - - - - VLDB Conference - August 2012 -
