Hi,

I am new to PostGre SQL and want to ask some questions. In my database class, we plan to work on a class project based on WAL. Since we are not familiar with WAL, we don't know what's a good start point. Could anyone point me to any documentation mentioning about WAL in PostGre SQL? It will be very helpful if anyone could point me to the file which includes the core of WAL implementation. Any advice along this line is very welcome. 

Thanks,
Mingzhe
