Correct, slave connects to the master. Alvaro is pointing out that most data flows from client to server, like in COPY FROM. But the server counts both in- and out-going data against the renegotiation limit, so the server will initiate renegotiation just fine in that case too. -- Heikki Linnakangas EnterpriseDB 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
