I don't remember exactly what I read to get this idea. Perhaps it was this particular presentation slide: https://www.slideshare.net/pgdayasia/postgresql-wal-for-dbas/15
The great news is that it must. Some of the helpful folks on IRC introduced me to two different methods of retrieving the information I was looking for from my backups. I tested both and they worked excellently. Using pg_filedump I was able to find the records in the raw files on disk: https://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/?p=pg_filedump.git And with the pg_dirtyread extension I was able to have access to the records from the running database server: https://github.com/df7cb/pg_dirtyread -- This electronic communication, including any attached documents, may contain confidential and/or legally privileged information that is intended only for use by the recipient(s) named above.
