  *
+ * WAL CONSIDERATIONS
+ *	  All heap operations are normally WAL-logged. but there are a few
+ *	  exceptions. Temporary and unlogged relations never need to be
+ *	  WAL-logged, but we can also skip WAL-logging for a table that was
+ *	  created in the same transaction, if we don't need WAL for PITR or WAL
+ *	  archival purposes (i.e. if wal_level=minimal), and we fsync() the file
+ *	  to disk at COMMIT instead.
+ *
+ *	  The same-relation optimization is not employed automatically on all
+ *	  updates to a table that was created in the same transaction, because for
+ *	  a small number of changes, it's cheaper to just create the WAL records
+ *	  than fsync()ing the whole relation at COMMIT. It is only worthwhile for
+ *	  (presumably) large operations like COPY, CLUSTER, or VACUUM FULL. Use
+ *	  heap_register_sync() to initiate such an operation; it will cause any
+ *	  subsequent updates to the table to skip WAL-logging, if possible, and
+ *	  cause the heap to be synced to disk at COMMIT.
+ *
+ *	  To make that work, all modifications to heap must use
+ *	  BufferNeedsWAL() to check if WAL-logging is needed in this transaction
+ *	  for the given block.

+ * WAL CONSIDERATIONS
+ *	  All heap operations are normally WAL-logged. but there are a few
+ *	  exceptions. Temporary and unlogged relations never need to be
+ *	  WAL-logged, but we can also skip WAL-logging for a table that was
+ *	  created in the same transaction, if we don't need WAL for PITR or

+ *
+ *	  The same-relation optimization is not employed automatically on all
+ *	  updates to a table that was created in the same transacton, because
+ *	  for a small number of changes, it's cheaper to just create the WAL
+ *	  records than fsyncing() the whole relation at COMMIT. It is only
+ *	  worthwhile for (presumably) large operations like COPY, CLUSTER,
+ *	  or VACUUM FULL. Use heap_register_sync() to initiate such an
+ *	  operation; it will cause any subsequent updates to the table to skip
+ *	  WAL-logging, if possible, and cause the heap to be synced to disk at
+ *	  COMMIT.
+ *
+ *	  To make that work, all modifications to heap must use
+ *	  BufferNeedsWAL() to check if WAL-logging is needed in this transaction
+ *	  for the given block.

+ * WAL CONSIDERATIONS
+ *	  All heap operations are normally WAL-logged. but there are a few
+ *	  exceptions. Temporary and unlogged relations never need to be
+ *	  WAL-logged, but we can also skip WAL-logging for a table that was
+ *	  created in the same transaction, if we don't need WAL for PITR or

+ *	  The same-relation optimization is not employed automatically on all

+ *	  for a small number of changes, it's cheaper to just create the WAL
+ *	  records than fsyncing() the whole relation at COMMIT. It is only
+ *	  worthwhile for (presumably) large operations like COPY, CLUSTER,
+ *	  or VACUUM FULL. Use heap_register_sync() to initiate such an
+ *	  operation; it will cause any subsequent updates to the table to skip
+ *	  WAL-logging, if possible, and cause the heap to be synced to disk at
+ *	  COMMIT.
+ *
+ *	  To make that work, all modifications to heap must use
+ *	  BufferNeedsWAL() to check if WAL-logging is needed in this transaction

@ 2018-10-11 07:18 Kyotaro Horiguchi <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 19+ messages in thread

From: Kyotaro Horiguchi @ 2018-10-11 07:18 UTC (permalink / raw)

This patch repalces WAL-skipping means from HEAP_INSERT_SKIP_WAL to
pending-sync tracking infrastructure.

+ * WAL CONSIDERATIONS
+ *	  All heap operations are normally WAL-logged. but there are a few
+ *	  exceptions. Temporary and unlogged relations never need to be
+ *	  WAL-logged, but we can also skip WAL-logging for a table that was
+ *	  created in the same transaction, if we don't need WAL for PITR or
+ *	  WAL archival purposes (i.e. if wal_level=minimal), and we fsync()
+ *	  the file to disk at COMMIT instead.
+ *
+ *	  The same-relation optimization is not employed automatically on all
+ *	  updates to a table that was created in the same transacton, because
+ *	  for a small number of changes, it's cheaper to just create the WAL
+ *	  records than fsyncing() the whole relation at COMMIT. It is only
+ *	  worthwhile for (presumably) large operations like COPY, CLUSTER,
+ *	  or VACUUM FULL. Use heap_register_sync() to initiate such an
+ *	  operation; it will cause any subsequent updates to the table to skip
+ *	  WAL-logging, if possible, and cause the heap to be synced to disk at
+ *	  COMMIT.
+ *
+ *	  To make that work, all modifications to heap must use
+ *	  BufferNeedsWAL() to check if WAL-logging is needed in this transaction
+ *	  for the given block.

* [PATCH 4/4] Fix WAL skipping feature.
@ 2018-10-11 07:18 Kyotaro Horiguchi <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 19+ messages in thread

From: Kyotaro Horiguchi @ 2018-10-11 07:18 UTC (permalink / raw)

This patch repalces WAL-skipping means from HEAP_INSERT_SKIP_WAL to
pending-sync tracking infrastructure.

  *	  the POSTGRES heap access method used for all POSTGRES

+ * WAL CONSIDERATIONS
+ *	  All heap operations are normally WAL-logged. but there are a few
+ *	  exceptions. Temporary and unlogged relations never need to be
+ *	  WAL-logged, but we can also skip WAL-logging for a table that was
+ *	  created in the same transaction, if we don't need WAL for PITR or
+ *	  WAL archival purposes (i.e. if wal_level=minimal), and we fsync()
+ *	  the file to disk at COMMIT instead.
+ *
+ *	  The same-relation optimization is not employed automatically on all
+ *	  updates to a table that was created in the same transacton, because
+ *	  for a small number of changes, it's cheaper to just create the WAL
+ *	  records than fsyncing() the whole relation at COMMIT. It is only
+ *	  worthwhile for (presumably) large operations like COPY, CLUSTER,
+ *	  or VACUUM FULL. Use heap_register_sync() to initiate such an
+ *	  operation; it will cause any subsequent updates to the table to skip
+ *	  WAL-logging, if possible, and cause the heap to be synced to disk at
+ *	  COMMIT.
+ *
+ *	  To make that work, all modifications to heap must use
+ *	  BufferNeedsWAL() to check if WAL-logging is needed in this transaction
+ *	  for the given block.

@ 2018-10-11 07:18 Kyotaro Horiguchi <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 19+ messages in thread

From: Kyotaro Horiguchi @ 2018-10-11 07:18 UTC (permalink / raw)

This patch repalces WAL-skipping means from HEAP_INSERT_SKIP_WAL to
pending-sync tracking infrastructure.

  *	  the POSTGRES heap access method used for all POSTGRES

  *
+ * WAL CONSIDERATIONS
+ *	  All heap operations are normally WAL-logged. but there are a few
+ *	  exceptions. Temporary and unlogged relations never need to be
+ *	  WAL-logged, but we can also skip WAL-logging for a table that was
+ *	  created in the same transaction, if we don't need WAL for PITR or
+ *	  WAL archival purposes (i.e. if wal_level=minimal), and we fsync()
+ *	  the file to disk at COMMIT instead.
+ *
+ *	  The same-relation optimization is not employed automatically on all
+ *	  updates to a table that was created in the same transacton, because
+ *	  for a small number of changes, it's cheaper to just create the WAL
+ *	  records than fsyncing() the whole relation at COMMIT. It is only
+ *	  worthwhile for (presumably) large operations like COPY, CLUSTER,
+ *	  or VACUUM FULL. Use heap_register_sync() to initiate such an
+ *	  operation; it will cause any subsequent updates to the table to skip
+ *	  WAL-logging, if possible, and cause the heap to be synced to disk at
+ *	  COMMIT.
+ *
+ *	  To make that work, all modifications to heap must use
+ *	  BufferNeedsWAL() to check if WAL-logging is needed in this transaction
+ *	  for the given block.

  *	  the POSTGRES heap access method used for all POSTGRES
  *	  relations.
  *
+ * WAL CONSIDERATIONS
+ *	  All heap operations are normally WAL-logged. but there are a few
+ *	  exceptions. Temporary and unlogged relations never need to be
+ *	  WAL-logged, but we can also skip WAL-logging for a table that was
+ *	  created in the same transaction, if we don't need WAL for PITR or WAL
+ *	  archival purposes (i.e. if wal_level=minimal), and we fsync() the file
+ *	  to disk at COMMIT instead.
+ *
+ *	  The same-relation optimization is not employed automatically on all
+ *	  updates to a table that was created in the same transaction, because for
+ *	  a small number of changes, it's cheaper to just create the WAL records
+ *	  than fsync()ing the whole relation at COMMIT. It is only worthwhile for
+ *	  (presumably) large operations like COPY, CLUSTER, or VACUUM FULL. Use
+ *	  table_relation_register_sync() to initiate such an operation; it will
+ *	  cause any subsequent updates to the table to skip WAL-logging, if
+ *	  possible, and cause the heap to be synced to disk at COMMIT.
+ *
+ *	  To make that work, all modifications to heap must use
+ *	  BufferNeedsWAL() to check if WAL-logging is needed in this transaction
+ *	  for the given block.

+ * WAL CONSIDERATIONS
+ *	  All heap operations are normally WAL-logged. but there are a few
+ *	  exceptions. Temporary and unlogged relations never need to be
+ *	  WAL-logged, but we can also skip WAL-logging for a table that was
+ *	  created in the same transaction, if we don't need WAL for PITR or WAL
+ *	  archival purposes (i.e. if wal_level=minimal), and we fsync() the file
+ *	  to disk at COMMIT instead.
+ *
+ *	  The same-relation optimization is not employed automatically on all
+ *	  updates to a table that was created in the same transaction, because for
+ *	  a small number of changes, it's cheaper to just create the WAL records
+ *	  than fsync()ing the whole relation at COMMIT. It is only worthwhile for
+ *	  (presumably) large operations like COPY, CLUSTER, or VACUUM FULL. Use
+ *	  table_relation_register_sync() to initiate such an operation; it will
+ *	  cause any subsequent updates to the table to skip WAL-logging, if
+ *	  possible, and cause the heap to be synced to disk at COMMIT.
+ *
+ *	  To make that work, all modifications to heap must use
+ *	  BufferNeedsWAL() to check if WAL-logging is needed in this transaction
+ *	  for the given block.

* [PATCH 2/2] Fix WAL skipping feature
@ 2019-05-20 06:38 Kyotaro Horiguchi <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 19+ messages in thread

From: Kyotaro Horiguchi @ 2019-05-20 06:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

WAL-skipping operations mixed with WAL-logged operations can lead to
database corruption after a crash. This patch changes the WAL-skipping
feature so that no data modifcation is WAL-logged at all then sync
such relations at commit.

* [PATCH 2/2] Fix WAL skipping feature
@ 2019-05-20 06:38 Kyotaro Horiguchi <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 19+ messages in thread

From: Kyotaro Horiguchi @ 2019-05-20 06:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

WAL-skipping operations mixed with WAL-logged operations can lead to
database corruption after a crash. This patch changes the WAL-skipping
feature so that no data modifcation is WAL-logged at all then sync
such relations at commit.

* [PATCH 2/3] Fix WAL skipping feature
@ 2019-05-27 07:06 Kyotaro Horiguchi <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 19+ messages in thread

From: Kyotaro Horiguchi @ 2019-05-27 07:06 UTC (permalink / raw)

WAL-skipping operations mixed with WAL-logged operations can lead to
database corruption after a crash. This patch changes the WAL-skipping
feature so that no data modifcation is WAL-logged at all then sync
such relations at commit.

* [PATCH 2/3] Fix WAL skipping feature
@ 2019-05-27 07:06 Kyotaro Horiguchi <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 19+ messages in thread

From: Kyotaro Horiguchi @ 2019-05-27 07:06 UTC (permalink / raw)

WAL-skipping operations mixed with WAL-logged operations can lead to
database corruption after a crash. This patch changes the WAL-skipping
feature so that no data modifcation is WAL-logged at all then sync
such relations at commit.

* [PATCH 2/4] Fix WAL skipping feature
@ 2019-08-21 04:57 Kyotaro Horiguchi <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 19+ messages in thread

From: Kyotaro Horiguchi @ 2019-08-21 04:57 UTC (permalink / raw)

WAL-skipping operations mixed with WAL-logged operations can lead to
database corruption after a crash. This patch changes the WAL-skipping
feature so that no data modification is WAL-logged at all then sync
such relations at commit.

* [PATCH 2/3] Fix WAL skipping feature
@ 2019-08-21 04:57 Kyotaro Horiguchi <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 19+ messages in thread

From: Kyotaro Horiguchi @ 2019-08-21 04:57 UTC (permalink / raw)

WAL-skipping operations mixed with WAL-logged operations can lead to
database corruption after a crash. This patch changes the WAL-skipping
feature so that no data modification is WAL-logged at all then sync
such relations at commit.

* [PATCH v23 2/5] Fix WAL skipping feature
@ 2019-10-25 03:07 Kyotaro Horiguchi <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 19+ messages in thread

From: Kyotaro Horiguchi @ 2019-10-25 03:07 UTC (permalink / raw)

WAL-skipping operations mixed with WAL-logged operations can lead to
database corruption after a crash. This patch changes the WAL-skipping
feature so that no data modification is WAL-logged at all then sync
such relations at commit.

WAL-skipping operations mixed with WAL-logged operations can lead to
database corruption after a crash. This patch changes the WAL-skipping
feature so that no data modification is WAL-logged at all then sync
such relations at commit.
