Hi,
I have a very big table (10GB).
I noticed that many WAL segments are being written when elaborating read
only transactions like this:
select * from dati25600000000 where id >43000000 limit 1000000;
I don't understand why are there WAL writings during read only transactions.

As far as I know (and I could be wrong), WAL segments reflect activity in the entire cluster, not just one table - so perhaps there is write activity happening in other tables, or in other databases.
