I was thinking maybe "log_shipping" instead of "archive", since we're conflating the technology (log shipping) with the technology used to implement it (archiving or streaming). Possible "crash_recovery" rather than just "crash" where you have "mimimal". I don't love "hot_standby" either but it might be the least of evils. ...Robert -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
