The <filename>pg_walinspect</filename> module provides SQL functions that
allow you to inspect the contents of write-ahead log of
a running <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> database cluster at a low
- level, which is useful for debugging or analytical or reporting or
+ level, which is useful for debugging, analytical, reporting or
educational purposes. It is similar to <xref linkend="pgwaldump"/>, but
accessible through SQL rather than a separate utility.
