I don't know many people who shutdown both nodes of a highly available application at the same time. If they did, I wouldn't expect them to complain they couldn't run queries on the standby when an two obvious and simple workarounds exist to allow them to access their data: start the master again, or make the standby switchover, both of which are part of standard operating procedures. It doesn't seem very high up the list of additional features, at least. -- Simon Riggs www.2ndQuadrant.com -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
