I wanted to see how much faster unlogged tables might be for an app I have, so as a quick test I did:
s/CREATE TABLE/CREATE UNLOGGED TABLE/ to get some numbers. Which lead to a crash. Here is a trimmed down test case: $ cat > unlog-test.sql CREATE UNLOGGED TABLE leases ( mac macaddr NOT NULL, ip inet NOT NULL, start_ts timestamp with time zone NOT NULL, end_ts timestamp with time zone NOT NULL, id bigint NOT NULL, truncated integer, router_ip inet, CONSTRAINT leases_check CHECK ((start_ts < end_ts)) ); CREATE UNLOGGED TABLE closed_leases ( ) INHERITS (leases); CREATE UNLOGGED TABLE open_leases ( ) INHERITS (leases); ^D $ psql91 -U postgres postgres -c '\i unlog-test.sql' CREATE TABLE psql91:unlog-test.sql:13: server closed the connection unexpectedly This probably means the server terminated abnormally before or while processing the request. psql91:unlog-test.sql:13: connection to server was lost The CHECK CONSTRAINT on leases is required to cause the crash on creating closed_leases.
