I am using postgres 8.0.3, and wanted to use Point In Time Recovery enable.
could any one tell me about how to indentify the current WAL file, also
let me know if there is any fix patteren for WAL log file generations.
documentaion says it will generate ever increasing number starting from
some thing like "0000000100000000000000000". but I have observed
different behaviour. I would also want to know, how does it archive
files. for example we have log file 000002, now when archiving will
it start new file as 000003 or will it archive 000002 as
000003 and lastest will be same as 000002.
