Hello!

I just set up a little test database and i asked myself why this
pg_xlog-directory has already 33MBs and is still growing.

Is there a "natural" limitation for the size of (the files in) this
directory? (I know: disc space! ;-)....but what i meant: a limitation thru
the
postmater.)

Or did i forgot to configure something?
Or do i have to purge this files manually from time to time?

(I already searched for information about this, but i found no answer.
...and what the hell is the "WAL manual" ? )


Can you help me?


Greetings  Jochen
