Oh, true. But, what if we have another synchronous standby called C? We specify the policy as follows?: on A: synchronous_standbys=B,C on B: synchronous_standbys=A,C on C: synchronous_standbys=A,B We would need to change the setting on both A and B when we want to change the name of the third standby from C to D, for example.
