CHECKPOINT
</pre></div><div class="refsect1" id="id-1.9.3.49.5"><h2>Description</h2><p>
   A checkpoint is a point in the write-ahead log sequence at which
   all data files have been updated to reflect the information in the
   log.  All data files will be flushed to disk.  Refer to
   <a class="xref" href="wal-configuration.html" title="30.5. WAL Configuration">Section 30.5</a> for more details about what happens
   during a checkpoint.
  </p><p>
   The <code class="command">CHECKPOINT</code> command forces an immediate
   checkpoint when the command is issued, without waiting for a
   regular checkpoint scheduled by the system (controlled by the settings in
   <a class="xref" href="runtime-config-wal.html#RUNTIME-CONFIG-WAL-CHECKPOINTS" title="20.5.2. Checkpoints">Section 20.5.2</a>).
   <code class="command">CHECKPOINT</code> is not intended for use during normal
   operation.
  </p><p>
   If executed during recovery, the <code class="command">CHECKPOINT</code> command
   will force a restartpoint (see <a class="xref" href="wal-configuration.html" title="30.5. WAL Configuration">Section 30.5</a>)
   rather than writing a new checkpoint.
  </p><p>
   Only superusers or users with the privileges of
   the <a class="link" href="predefined-roles.html#PREDEFINED-ROLES-TABLE" title="Table 22.1. Predefined Roles"><code class="literal">pg_checkpoint</code></a>
   role can call <code class="command">CHECKPOINT</code>.
  </p></div><div class="refsect1" id="id-1.9.3.49.6"><h2>Compatibility</h2><p>
   The <code class="command">CHECKPOINT</code> command is a
   <span class="productname">PostgreSQL</span> language extension.
