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?

Bump. I am looking for an informed reply on what are the actual contents that
are written inside of the WAL files. Thanks.

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.

Cheers,

Cliff

I'm not sure there's a level of detail available between that and
the links below.
