Subject: [GENERAL] user question about log

> does postgreSQL have any mechanism like Oracle's Redo-log or the
'logupdate' option of MySQL which log only those queries that cause really
happened changes to databases? In postgreSQL, how to do things like MySQL's
"flush logs" and Oracle's "alter database archivelog"? what's the
information in $PGDATA/pg_log? how to browse it?

take a look in chapter 11 from the Administrator's Guide - "Write-Ahead
Logging (WAL)"
