And you commit every single record, isn't it ?

Group 10 ready-to-be-committed records in one transaction and lower amount of
transactions 10 times allows you to not overfill tx numbers within next 20 years. New
records will be visible to other user not within 0.03 sec but within 0.3 sec after readyness.
It is not appropriate ?

Believe me or not, but application which created 2^31 tx per 2 years is BAD
application.

This is not exuse you to not supply backup\restore functionality with your
soft to the customers, sorry. And nobody will kill you if you will backup\restore
database at least once per year, i think ;)

No. It was discussed in fb-devel some time ago and no good solution was offered.
