Hmm. I think that if you do it this way, the minimum recovery point won't be respected, which could leave you with a corrupted database. Now, if all the WAL files that you need are present in pg_xlog anyway, then they ought to get replayed anyway, but I think that if you are using restore_command (as opposed to streaming replication) we restore WAL segments under a different file name, which might cause this problem. -- 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
