This is the reason for my question. As far as I can see, the difference between NORMAL and FULL in WAL mode is that FULL has one transaction in WAL to be checkpointed, and NORMAL has multiple. Since both of them need to checkpoint for durability, how is it that FULL can guarantee durability for 1 transaction, but not NORMAL for multiple? From a development point of view, I would imagine that both will use the same checkpoint routine, but yet I cannot understand why FULL has a guarantee and NORMAL does not..
