No. No kidding.
Just to clarify, what I mean is: With FSYNC enabled, after a power failure, after "pg_ctl start" and replay of xact log
etc;Are COMMITTED transactions guaranteed to be intact, and are UNCOMMITTED transactions guaranteed not to appear in
thetables?
If the answer is "yes", then I understand the use of FSYNC.
If the answer is "no", then i don't see the point in using FSYNC at all.
