[HACKERS] “Core” function in Postgres
Hi experts, I want to know what's the "core" function used in Postgres server? I am looking for something corresponding to main() in a simple C program. I want to know the file path and the function name. I am using Postgres 9.3.5, however I assume the "core" function will be unchanged between different revisions. Please let me know if you are confused by my question. Thanks Zack PS: I have the same post on stackoverflow. Since no one answered there, I just report here.
[HACKERS] New to PostGre SQL asking about write-ahead-log (WAL)
Hi, I am new to PostGre SQL and want to ask some questions. In my database class, we plan to work on a class project based on WAL. Since we are not familiar with WAL, we don't know what's a good start point. Could anyone point me to any documentation mentioning about WAL in PostGre SQL? It will be very helpful if anyone could point me to the file which includes the core of WAL implementation. Any advice along this line is very welcome. Thanks, Mingzhe
