Thanks Tom,
Can you answer my original question too:
If I am issuing NOTIFY commands every 30 seconds (and immediately committing)
and there are no listeners, will that have a negative impact on the cluster?
I'm using the NOTIFY to force streaming replication to update the
"pg_last_xact_replay_timestamp" on the slaves so we can more accurately monitor
replication lag on quiet systems.
Thanks,
Rob

NOTIFY data is not saved across a shutdown or crash.
(The reason it goes into the WAL stream is so that you can have listeners
on replication slaves, not for recovery purposes.)
