The archiver doesn't know any more about where the end-of-data is than the archive_command does. Moreover, the archiver doesn't know whether the archive_command cares. I think the separate module is a fine solution. It should also be pointed out that the whole thing becomes uninteresting if we get real-time log shipping implemented. So I see absolutely no point in spending time integrating pg_clearxlogtail now. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
