Okay, got it now with your explanations. For some reason it didn't work before with standby_mode = 'on' (it does now) and the warning "FATAL: sorry, too many standbys already" gave me a first suspicion that SR is the only use case for this. Then I checked the docs and there it said "If this parameter is on, the streaming replication is enabled". I understand now what it does and that it is a prerequisite but that there is also a non-SR use case... So the name is okay for me :-) Thanks again, Joachim -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
