Using non ACID storage as workaround instead missing autonomous transactions

This article discusses using non-transactional storage engines, specifically the csv_tam extension for PostgreSQL, as a workaround for the lack of autonomous transactions. The author compares transactional vs non-transactional databases, highlighting performance gains and acceptable trade-offs in consistency for non-critical environments like application logging. It covers the implementation details, crash safety limitations, and contrasts with other workarounds like dblink and pg_background. The csv_tam storage supports only inserts and truncating, offering a simple, crash-safe solution for specific use cases.
