I'm running on 7.4.5 (pre bgwriter) and moving to 8.2 in 3 weeks. I turn fsync off on my testing server. When I update a table I expect the file in the base directory to remain the same size until the next syncpoint when it would then update. But it increases immediately. I thought updates remain in memory until syncpoint in pre-8.0. Am I missing somethng?
Thanks for your time
