Thread: Contents of WAL files
I was reading Chapter 29 of the postgres manual about WAL files and couldn't find any specific information about what is actually in the WAL files, per se. To be as specific as possible, can anyone provide more detail about what content is actually written into these files? http://developer.postgresql.org/pgdocs/postgres/wal.html http://developer.postgresql.org/pgdocs/postgres/wal.html -- View this message in context: http://postgresql.1045698.n5.nabble.com/Contents-of-WAL-files-tp4892578p4892578.html Sent from the PostgreSQL - admin mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
Bump. I am looking for an informed reply on what are the actual contents that are written inside of the WAL files. Thanks. -- View this message in context: http://postgresql.1045698.n5.nabble.com/Contents-of-WAL-files-tp4892578p4893138.html Sent from the PostgreSQL - admin mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

I'm not sure there's a level of detail available between that and the links below. http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/?p=postgresql.git;a=blob;f=src/backend/access/transam/README;h=c0c9aeaa318380908079cbb0f8f79e848cd105a9;hb=master#l387 http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/?p=postgresql.git;a=blob;f=src/backend/access/transam/xlog.c;h=befb507047721bcde868a5682b97a3829cc85b81;hb=master http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/?p=postgresql.git;a=blob;f=src/include/access/xlog_internal.h;h=4eaa243948be5023707e9d35d04504a0ebdf6416;hb=master -Kevin
I think that you misunderstand the basics of this list. There is not a bunch of people designated and waiting to answer your questions. It is a self-help list. People come here to ask questions and *hope* that someone, somewhere has an answer. Some people come here to help out by answering peoples' questions out of the goodness of their hearts. Many times you may ask a question and no one will be able to answer it, though they may direct you in ways which they think might help you to find the answer.
