Hi, I was wondering if Postgresql can be tuned such that it writes to disk every n seconds or until the buffer reaches a certain threshold to tune the performance . This is a special case where the application wouldn't care if there is a data loss of 1 seconds or less. I would be interested to know if there is some configuration parameter which already does this. I looked at the WAL parameters and the new async commit but not sure if I am looking at the right place. Say i have 10 clients connecting and each client is inserting a record. I want to force Postgresql only to write to disk when all the 10 records have been written to the buffer or after 1 second (configurable). My question is can I partly achieve this by setting wal_writer_delay = 1000 ms or is there some other parameter which will help me to achieve the desired effect? -- Vinu In a world without fences who needs Gates? -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
