Since Thom already did the destruction test, I only chained 7 standbies, just to see if I could reproduce his error.
In the process, I accidentally connected one standby to itself. This failed, but the error message wasn't very helpful; it just gave me "FATAL: could not connect, the database system is starting up". Surely there's some way we could tell the user they've tried to connect a standby to itself? Anyway, I was unable to reproduce Thom's error. I did not see the error message he did. Without any read queries running on the standbys, lag from master to replica7 averaged about 0.5 seconds, ranging between 0.1 seconds and 1.2 seconds. -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL Experts Inc. http://pgexperts.com -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
