Hi,

I have installes Postgres 8.0.15 on a embedded Linux and have only 130 MB for Postgres. Is it possible to turn off the comlete (Wal) pg_xlog? Because this is the biggest part.
I found an Entry how to minimize the count of stored xlogs.
Is it possible to store it  to /dev/null or something else?
Something like ln -s /dev/null pg_xlog/ (I know this does not work :-) ....
You should also understand that if you set checkpoint_segments to a small number, its still possible that PostgreSQL might use more than that number for a large transaction. As such, be careful about limiting the space available to your xlogs, lest it cause transactions to fail due to insufficient space for the xlogs.
