With the current patches, the data survives a restart just fine.

Per -hackers, that's not guarenteed.


Which is fine. If you choose to set a table to nonlogged, that implies that you accept the risk of corrupted data, or that you don't "get it", in which case . It should not however, imply that you want it all thrown out every so often for no good reason.

If you do wish to have the data tossed out for no good reason every so often, then there ought to be a separate attribute to control that. I'm really having trouble seeing how such behavior would be desirable enough to ever have the server do it for you, on its terms rather than yours.
