Thread: checkpoint

Hi,

If I run checkpoint from psql, is it applied to all the databases?

What if I do it though an API? When connecting with psycopg2, I'm forced to
specify a database name, if I use "dbname=postgres", and execute
"checkpoint;", is it applied to all the databases?

Thanks.

This is what I had observed, but wanted to be 100% sure. Thanks.
