Tom Lane's presentation on SERIALIZABLE etc?

Hi,

I remember there used to be somewhere a link to a talk Tom gave (on
OSCON 2001 maybe?) on transaction processing, SERIALIZABLE, SELECT FOR
UPDATE, etc. I'm pretty sure it was linked to somewhere in the old
developers page, but I cannot find it in the new one or elsewhere. I
searched the OSCON site but it isn't showing up either.

This one is not it:
http://www.postgresql.org/files/developer/transactions.pdf
Transaction Processing in PostgreSQL

Any clues?

Thanks,

I think you mean

\Header{PostgreSQL Concurrency Issues}
\LFooter{Tom Lane}
\CFooter{O'Reilly Open Source Convention, July 2002}

I'm not sure where it is on the website either; there used to be a link
in the developer materials but it may be gone. Anyway there's still a
PDF of the slides in my home directory on cvs.postgresql.org.

regards, tom lane

Yes, this one was it.

Got it, thanks! This is excellent material and it should definitively
be in the website. The 7.4 optimizer talk (oscon 2003) is great too.
Too bad you weren't writing new ones for subsequent releases!

Since this was publically released in the past, I assume this is OK to
distribute?
