I've been reviewing things as we go along, so I'm not that tense overall. Having said that I don't understand why the problem above would occur and the sentence seems to be missing a verb between "without" and "stalls". More explanation please. What could happen is that the standby could slowly lag behind master. We don't have any way of monitoring that, as yet. Setting ps display is not enough here. -- 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
