WAL details

[Simon Windsor]

Hi

I want to be preserve a log of all SQL actions that change a database, (ie
INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, CREATE), to provide a full audit trail of the date,
and to allow the recreation of a database at any time.

I can achieve this wth ORACLE(recover and others) and MySQL(mysqlbinlog) quite
easily. How do I achieve this with Postgres?

Use log_statement. In 7.5 you can log only data modification queries.

joining column's datatypes do not match
