The following documentation comment has been logged on the website:
Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/16/runtime-config-wal.html
Description:
In
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/16/runtime-config-wal.html#GUC-WAL-COMPRESSION,
the option "on" is not described:
“The supported methods are pglz, lz4 (if PostgreSQL was compiled with
--with-lz4) and zstd (if PostgreSQL was compiled with --with-zstd). The
default value is off. ”
"on" was an available option before PG 15, and still seen in some docs.
If I understand the code in src/backend/utils/misc/guc_tables.c, "on" is the
same as "pglz". So I suggest:
“The supported methods are pglz, lz4 (if PostgreSQL was compiled with
--with-lz4) and zstd (if PostgreSQL was compiled with --with-zstd). The
default value is off. The value on is synonym of pglz.”
I didn't see this discussed in
