Actually i would prefer to have standbys asynchronous by default... though is true that there will be no waits until i set synchronous_replication to on... 1) it could be confusing to see a SYNC standby in pg_stat_replication by default when i wanted all of them to be async, 2) also * will give priority 1 to all standbys so it doesn't seem like a very useful out-of-the-box configuration, better to make the dba to write the standby names in the order they want -- Jaime Casanova www.2ndQuadrant.com Professional PostgreSQL: Soporte y capacitación de PostgreSQL -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
