Re: [PERFORM] disable archiving
Perhaps you should've read the configuration-manual-page more carefully. ;) Besides, WAL-archiving is turned off by default, so if you see them being archived you actually enabled it earlier The archive_command is empty by default: If this is an empty string (the default), WAL archiving is disabled. http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/interactive/runtime-config-wal.html Best regards, Arjen On 23-7-2007 19:24 Paul van den Bogaard wrote: the manual somewhere states ... if archiving is enabled...

Re: [PERFORM] disable archiving
Alvaro, thanks for the quick reply. Just to make sure: I do not set this command. This results in the database cycling through a finite set (hopefully small) set of WAL files. So old WAL files are reused once the engine thinks this can be done.
