I don't really see why sync rep should be responsible for solving this problem, which is an issue in many other situations as well, only for itself. In fact I think I'd prefer that it didn't, and that we wait for a more general solution that will actually fix this problem for real. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
