OK, I went with this text, stating WAL "generation" is skipped: Allow skipping of WAL for full table writes if wal_level is 'minimal' (Kyotaro Horiguchi) Relations larger than wal_skip_threshold will have their files fsync'ed rather than generating WAL. Previously this was done only for COPY operations, but the implementation had a bug that could cause data loss during crash recovery. -- Bruce Momjian <br...@momjian.us> https://momjian.us EnterpriseDB https://enterprisedb.com + As you are, so once was I.
