<para>

<function>pg_create_restore_point</> creates a named transaction log

record that can be used as recovery target, and returns the corresponding

transaction log location. The given name can then be used with

<xref linkend="recovery-target-name"> to specify the point up to which

recovery will proceed. Avoid creating multiple restore points with the

same name, since recovery will stop at the first one whose name matches

the recovery target.

</para>

<para>

<function>pg_current_xlog_location</> displays the current transaction log write

location in the same format used by the above functions. Similarly,

RecPtr=XLogInsert(RM_XLOG_ID,XLOG_RESTORE_POINT,&rdata);

ereport(LOG,

(errmsg("restore point \"%s\" created at %X/%X",

rpName,RecPtr.xlogid,RecPtr.xrecoff)));

returnRecPtr;
