I can't find a way to force a WAL to switch other than just generating a
lot of changes in the database. I'd like to be able to switch to the
next WAL before a hot backup, and then switch out one after the hot
backup. The docs indicate this is not possible.

Does anyone have a way to do this (other than creating a lot of data
changes)?

Thanks

Jed.
