What if we somehow get into a situation where the replay process is waiting for a lock over and over and over again, because it keeps killing conflicting processes but something restarts them and they take locks over again? It seems hard to ensure that replay will make adequate progress with any substantially non-zero value of max_standby_delay under this definition. ...Robert -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
