I notice that StartupCLOG zeroes out entries later than the nextxid when we complete recovery in StartupXLOG, reason given is safety in case we crash.
ISTM that we should also do that whenever we see a Shutdown Checkpoint in WAL, since that can be caused by a shutdown immediate, shutdown abort or crash. In each of those cases its possible that we would have the same conditions as exist at the end of WAL. Can't see a failure case of importance though, just wanted to flag it up as a possible. Better a false positive with these types of concern. -- Simon Riggs www.2ndQuadrant.com PostgreSQL Training, Services and Support -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
