How about just reducing it to "A standby server that doesn't accept connection is called a ..."? We don't really need to explain that if you do promote the standby it will start accept connections -- do we? It should be pretty obvious if you promote a standby, it will cease to be a standby in the first place. This verbiage seems excessive. -- Álvaro Herrera https://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services
