Thread: WAL test/verification tool
Hi I have heard rumours of a tool that could verify or compare the effects of applying WAL records for testing/development purposes, but I've been unable to track it down or find out if it was publicly released. Does anyone know the status of that or what it was called? Thanks, -- Thomas Munro http://www.enterprisedb.com

There is another thing I am interested in getting done for 9.6 which will get my focus until September... -- Michael
