Are persistent queues the same thing as persistent queues?

Question

RabbitMQ

Are persistent queues the same thing as persistent queues? Do I understand correctly that this is just the ability of the queue to save messages when the server crashes or reboots?

Answer 1

Here in the documentation it is quite to itself is described.
The queue can be either durable or transient. In the first case, the broker will restore it after restarting, but this has nothing to do with its content. Messages will only be restored if they were sent with the persistent flag. Object metadata (queues, exchangers, etc.) are stored in Mnesia, while the messages themselves are separate and in a different format.
