Postgres 9.4 unlogged table. Under any circumstance after server crash would data persist?

[Stephen Tahmosh <stahmosh@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

The goal was to minimize log activity during ETL.  The assumption was, once a Table load was “committed” the data would persist after a system shutdown.

Our database backup currently “aborts” the server (working to change to an orderly shutdown).

I have loaded data to an unlogged table, and committed on completion.

I am able to see the data in another session, so I am sure the data has been persisted.

 

Over night, our database is shut down (forced) for a backup.  The next morning, I find that the data in my unlogged table is gone.

 

Is there any case where this data, in an unlogged table, would persist through a server “crash”?  (however caused).

 

Thanks,
