While we're on the subject of searches...

От

Over the past few months there've been a number of requests for an
interactive type documentation setup like the folks at php.net have.
The first version of it is now online and ready for testing.  You can
also search the docs, but the search isn't that exotic - but since
there are fewer than 500 pages of documentation the crude ILIKE search
I'm doing will suffice for now.  So check it out, beat it up, and if it
seems to work ok I'll move it to the main site and clear out the notes
that are currently in it (when you read them you'll know why).  They're
available at:

     http://odbc.postgresql.org/docs/

WAL Log using all my disk space!

Hi all,

The problem:

I do a large bulk copy once a day (100,000 records of Radius data),
tearing down indices, truncating a large table that contains summary
information, and rebuilding everything after the copy.  Over the course
of this operation, I can generate up to 1.5 gigs of WAL data in
pg_xlog.  Sometimes (like just now), I will run out of disk space and
the postmaster will crash.  I try to restart it, and it errors out.
Then I delete all the WAL logs, try to restart, and (surprise) it errors
out again.

I tried to set some of the of the WAL parameters in postgres.conf like
so:

wal_buffers = 4 # min 4
wal_files = 8 # range 0-64
wal_sync_method = fdatasync # fsync or fdatasync or open_sync or
open_datasync

but I get 24+ separate files.

I would like to recover without an initdb, but if that isn't possible, I
would definitely like to avoid this problem in the future.

Thanks to all

Were You thinking about connecting it with some mailing list - kind of
"note-announce". It may be interesting to read all new notes to pg docs.

Can't say that I had.  It's food for thought tho.

Great to add to the documentation, but I hope the PostgreSQL project
doesn't take it so far as to make the primary documentation
interactive.  A well-thought out, coherent document is _much_ more
useful than the skads of random tips that characterize some other
projects.  The current document is very well-written (though perhaps
incomplete).  I would hate to see that decline in quality.

Cheers,
Brook
