.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
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
Section\ \&30.5
for more details about what happens during a checkpoint\&.
.PP
The
\fBCHECKPOINT\fR
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
Section\ \&20.5.2)\&.
\fBCHECKPOINT\fR
is not intended for use during normal operation\&.
.PP
If executed during recovery, the
\fBCHECKPOINT\fR
command will force a restartpoint (see
Section\ \&30.5) rather than writing a new checkpoint\&.
.PP
Only superusers or users with the privileges of the
pg_checkpoint
role can call
\fBCHECKPOINT\fR\&.
.SH "COMPATIBILITY"
.PP
The
\fBCHECKPOINT\fR
command is a
PostgreSQL
language extension\&.
