Thread: wal_sync_method

wal_sync_method

From
"Jaime Casanova"
Date:
The documentation said in
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/static/wal-reliability.html in the
fourth paragraph (the one that talks about disk drive cache):
"""
On Windows if wal_sync_method is open_datasync (the default),
"""

But in my freshly 8.3.1 instalation on win xp, the default is
"fsync"... is a *bug* in the docs :)

More like a bug in the code.  Does it let you set the value to
open_datasync?
