Hello,
Has anybody used online backup feature of postgreSQL? In fact precise
postgreSQL term is called: "Point-in-time Recovery" (PITR)
This means enabling following additional options in config:
---
archive_command = on
archive_command = 'cp %p /usr/local/pgsql/pgDataPITR/wals/%f' # This is
only example path
---
If yes then may I know how it is used and how it impacts database
performance?
Other than the overhead of the copy itself, it generally doesn't. There
are a very limited number of shortcuts we can take when wal_level is set
to minimal, such as not WAL logging the full contents of data inserted
into a table that was created/truncated in the same transaction, but
generally archiving doesn't impact performance (assuming you keep it
running correctly so pg_xlog doesn't fill up ;)
