I do not think your proposed rewording is better. The point I was trying to cover is that "SET LOCAL synchronous_commit" will affect the upcoming commit, and that fine point is no longer clear with your phrasing. > Transaction commit is when the transaction ends, so using the word begin > in that way is confusing. I don't actually agree with that statement anyway... regards, tom lane
