One comment is that there are worse things than small memory leaks in
seldom-followed code paths, especially if those paths are only taken in

Hi Hackers,
I encountered overflow of bgwriter's file-fsync request queue. It occurred
during checkpoints. Each backend would call fsync disorderly in such cases,
so that the checkpoint takes a long time and the performance has decreased.
It seems to happen frequently on the machines with a lot
Hi listers,
I am experienced Oracle DBA und now I was given a task to evaluate
Postgresql.
May first goal is to compare the architecture of Oracle and Postgres.
After reading the fine manuals and several mailing lists, I have found
that the following parameters are analogous in

My questions is:
Where PG is storing data dictionary information (coming form system pg_*
tables) while parsing the queries ?
There's a limited-size catalog cache in each backend process, which
might be the closest analogy to this. Offhand I think it's
Hi Harris,
from oracle DBA point of view Enterprise DB is VERY cool. My boss will be
very happy to hear that there a way to get (paid) support for a PG DB.
But at the end I want to undestand how PG (and its clone Enterprise DB )
is working ;) . Hopefully I don't need to read the whole source of

There is one posted now, and the history has them as well.

Yeah, you're not the only one. We haven't figured out what's causing

I understand checkpoint code doing something like this:
Get RedoRecPtr;
Flush all dirty buffers no matter what's its LSN;
Write down checkpoint xlog record;
So I wonder is it possible flush only dirty buffers with LSN RedoRecPtr
to improve checkpoint caused delay?

So can you give me some hints why my thoughts are just wrong?

Certainly not. If LSN RedoRecPtr then you know the buffer contains
some changes more recent than the checkpoint, but you cannot tell
whether it
