Error Handling

4 PostgreSQL 18.6 parameters. Each one has its own animation and explanation.

Error Handling

  • data_sync_retry: Keep running after a failed fsync of a data file? Default off: PANIC and recover from WAL.
  • exit_on_error: Turn every ERROR into FATAL: the session ends on the first error.
  • recovery_init_sync_method: How the data directory is flushed before crash recovery: per-file fsync or syncfs.
  • restart_after_crash: After a backend crash, reinitialize and run crash recovery automatically (or shut down).
