where appropriate. Add "id" and "xreflabel" tags to the descriptions of the GUC variables to facilitate this. Also make a few minor docs cleanups.

Write-Ahead Logging (WAL) puts a checkpoint in the transaction log
|
|
every so often. (To adjust the automatic checkpoint interval, see
|
|
the run-time configuration options <xref linkend="guc-checkpoint-segments">
|
|
and <xref linkend="guc-checkpoint-timeout">.) The
|
|
<command>CHECKPOINT</command> command forces an immediate
|
|
checkpoint when the command is issued, without waiting for a
|
|
scheduled checkpoint.

A checkpoint is a point in the transaction 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 the
|
|
<xref linkend="wal"> for more information about the WAL system.

Only superusers may call <command>CHECKPOINT</command>. The command is
|
|
not intended for use during normal operation.
