At the risk of sounding predictable, +1. Maybe try 5 times, repeating at 1, 2, 4 & 8 seconds? Any longer seems like it will be a genuine failure (so does 8 seconds in fact, but I don't suppose it'll hurt to try). -- Dave Page EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
