Thread: BGWRITER in Postgres 8.2
I would like to test the new components of 8.2 as we upgrade from 7.4 next month.
Is there any way to verify that the background writer is operational?
Thank you,

Define operational. If you turn it on, it should be operational. Testing whether it is doing what it needs to for your application is a whole other ball game. You need to do some serious benchmarking of your application to figure that out. > > -- Brad Nicholson 416-673-4106 Database Administrator, Afilias Canada Corp.
