WAL是Write Ahead Log的简写,和oracle的redo日志类似,存放在$PGDATA/pg_xlog中,10版本以后在$PGDATA/pg_wal目录.在oracle数据库中,如果redo丢失,分为active/current和inactive的redo,分别有不同的处理方式,对于oracle需要实例恢复的redo丢失,需要屏蔽数据库一致性,强制打开数据库,对于PG数据库这部分日志丢失该如何恢复,主要是通过pg_resetwal/pg_resetxlog(10以前版本)命令来实现,这里通过一个测试来验证

错误比较明显,无法定位到有效的checkpoint记录,在oracle里面的意思可以理解为无法进行实例恢复,pg启动失败
重设wal
由于数据库为不一致状态,需要使用-f进行强制重设
-bash-4.2$ pg_resetwal $PGDATA
The database server was not shut down cleanly.
Resetting the write-ahead log might cause data to be lost.
If you want to proceed anyway, use -f to force reset.
-bash-4.2$ pg_resetwal -f $PGDATA
Write-ahead log reset
启动PG成功

由于需要进行实例恢复的wal日志丢失导致这表记录也丢失.由此可见这类操作可能导致数据丢失风险,对于生产环境,需要慎重,
