[HACKERS] 7.2 tools (was: WAL's single point of failure: latest CHECKPOINT record)

2001-03-01 Thread Ned Lilly

2001-03-01 Thread Tom Lane
As the WAL stuff is currently constructed, the system will refuse to start up unless the checkPoint field of pg_control points at a valid checkpoint record in the WAL log. Now I know we write and fsync the checkpoint record before we rewrite pg_control, but this still leaves me feeling mighty unc
