remove the 'fsync' parameter (which results in an an inconsistent
database) in favor of this capability.
+* Allow control over which tables are WAL-logged
+
+ Allow tables to bypass WAL writes and just fsync() dirty pages on
+ commit. To do this, only a single writer can modify the table, and
+ writes must happen only on new pages. Readers can continue accessing
+ the table. Another option is to avoid transaction logging entirely
+ and truncate or drop the table on crash recovery. These should be
+ implemented using ALTER TABLE, e.g. ALTER TABLE PERSISTENCE [ DROP |
+ TRUNCATE | STABLE | DEFAULT ]. [wallog]
