Not all transactional behaviour is emulated, for example we do not insert a transaction entry into the lock table, nor do we maintain the transaction -stack in memory. Clog entries are made normally.

Since tuple locks cannot be obtained at -all, there is never any conflict and so there is no reason to update multixact. +stack in memory. Clog and multixact entries are made normally. Subtrans is maintained during recovery but the details of the transaction tree are ignored and all subtransactions reference the top-level TransactionId directly.
