Hi, this is my first message to the list. I've been looking for some documentation regarding WAL configuration. Particulary, i want to know if there's a way to inhibit WAL for a certain table or for certain periods of time (i.e., during batch loads, when i don't really care for transaction logging since if anything goes wrong i can just restart the whole process without affecting the integrity of the table). I've searched the archives before asking and the only thing related to this was found on the hackers list, it explained how to limit the size and number of the WAL files, but it involved a patch to the code. I don't have a problem with patchin the source if this is the last resource, but it would be great if this could be done with a configuration directive (i didn't find anything related to this on the admin manual so this is probably impossible) or with a SQL command. Any help on this subject will be greatly appreciated!! :). Thanks in advance and sorry for the long post. -- Fernando Ipar - [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----------------------------------------------- ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
