当PostgreSQL需要insert 一条记录的时候，它会把记录头放入xmin,xmax等字段。
xmin的值，就是当前的Transaction的TransactionId。这是为了满足MVCC的需要。
跟踪程序进行了解：

现在已经知道，xmin是从 ShmemVairableCache->nextXid得来。
而且，即使数据库重新启动后，xmin也能在上一次的基础上继续增加。
可以知道，对其应当是进行了初始化。
而xmin的来源是 checkPoint数据，它是从数据库文件中来。

数据库系统启动的时候的情形已经有所了解了。那么运行中，transaction id 是如何递增的呢。如果我运行两次 GetNewTransactionId，就可以发现 transactionid 每次加2了。
