You can configure a different commit_delay in each database on the cluster using "alter database jjanes set commit_delay to 1000;" for example, but if different databases have different settings they will interact with each other in complex, unintuitive ways. And it is not really clear what you are trying to accomplish by doing this. Running multiple clusters on the same server is pretty easy to do, as long your client allows you configure which port number it connects to. If you really want fsync on for one database and off for another one, but each database in a different cluster. Cheers, Jeff
