Hi list,
I have got a script that is inserting, updating heavily at the moment. So, I want to turn fsync off to speed things up but I don't want to interrupt the script.
If I do `postgresql reload` or `kill -HUP postmaster_pid` woudl that apply the fsync change? By the way, I have already tried it and seems that it has worked.
But I have got another question. On my debian system I have got `postgresql force-reload`. How does that differ from the plain reload? And what does it actually do under the hood?
I am running Postgres 8.1.11 on Linux 2.6.18.
Regards,
Val
