recovery_starts_paused is useless as it is. It pauses the recovery right after the first WAL record, all right, but before we see a running-xacts record, we won't let any backends in. And if you can't connect, you can't unpause, so it's stuck forever.
It should probably behave as "pause after reaching WAL record that allows backends to connect". -- Heikki Linnakangas EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list ([email protected]) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
