Instead you should lower the value of wal_keep_segments, reload the server parameters, and then enforce two checkpoints to force WAL segments to be recycled. Note that this depends also on the values of checkpoint_segments (max_wal_size/min_wal_size in Postgres 9.5 and onwards). -- Michael -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
