* Point-In-Time Recovery (PITR)
- o Allow point-in-time recovery to archive partially filled
- write-ahead logs? [pitr]
+ o Add command to archive partially filled write-ahead logs? [pitr]
Currently only full WAL files are archived. This means that the
most recent transactions aren't available for recovery in case
- of a disk failure. This could be triggered by a user command or
- a timer.
+ of a disk failure.
o Automatically force archiving of partially-filled WAL files when
pg_stop_backup() is called or the server is stopped
Doing this will allow administrators to know more easily when
the archive contains all the files needed for point-in-time
- recovery. A function call to do this would also be useful.
+ recovery.
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-patches/2005-04/msg00121.php
+ o Add reporting of the current WAL file and offset, perhaps as
+ part of partial log file archiving
+
+ The offset allows parts of a WAL file to be archived using
+ an external program.
+
o %Create dump tool for write-ahead logs for use in determining
transaction id for point-in-time recovery
o Allow a warm standby system to also allow read-only statements
This is useful for checking PITR recovery.
o Allow the PITR process to be debugged and data examined
- o Add reporting of the current WAL file and offset, perhaps as
- part of partial log file archiving
-
- The offset allows parts of a WAL file to be archived using
- an external program.
