[DOCS] pg_logical_slot_get_changes needs clarification
The following documentation comment has been logged on the website: Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.4/static/functions-admin.html Description: It is not obvious from reading the description for function pg_logical_slot_get_changes that it is a "destructive" function, and this bit me. I was not clearly aware that this function consumes the replication stream such that it's no longer available if I use it to look at the logical stream, i.e., I MUST use the peek function for that purpose. This is more clear in the full examples of logical decoding. Also, it says in the "peek" function that the peek function does not consume changes like the get function - but that should be stated clearly in the get function description. The name of the function itself is part of the problem: "get" does not normally indicate "destroy" as well Thanks!

[DOCS] Grammar error
The following documentation comment has been logged on the website: Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.5/static/wal-configuration.html Description: On the 9.5/wal-configuration page, there is a grammar error: "so it accommodates peak usage rather average usage to some extent" It should be "rather **than** average usage", I believe. -- Sent via pgsql-docs mailing list ([email protected]) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-docs
[DOCS] Confused about a statement in WAL configs
The following documentation comment has been logged on the website: Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.6/static/wal-configuration.html Description: In this section: "At checkpoint time, all dirty data pages are flushed to disk and a special checkpoint record is written to the log file. (The change records were previously flushed to the WAL files.)" I am confused by what the part in parenthesis means by "previously". This may only reflect my ignorance, but I don't know if "previously" means "in previous versions of Postgres" or "before the checkpoint" or something else. Mostly because of this, I don't understand what this statement means. Thank you. -- Sent via pgsql-docs mailing list ([email protected]) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-docs
