Yea, that'd work. As long as you can get an arbitrary column back out, 'as it was at the time it was committed'.

Since not everything runs in a transaction,. And someone might have modified the row by the time you get to fetching it back out....

Or in terms of tuples,. No longer exist, if vacuum full have run...
