According to the WAL config documentation correctly, checkpoints
are created every checkpoint_segments log segments,
or every checkpoint_timeout
seconds, whichever comes first. However, it seems as though setting my
checkpoint_timeout has no effect on checkpoint creation ( I have it set to 30 seconds).
Forcing checkpoint by running psql –c CHECKPOINT mydb doesn’t do the trick
either. Checkpoints are created solely based on the checkpoint_segments
logs reaching their configured size. This is not satisfactory in a low transaction volume
environment. Any hints on how else can I trigger checkpoint? Thanks in advance, ~george |
