Yep, but we can use -d option like 'psql -d postgres'. pg_receivexlog and pg_basebackup doesn't seem to work like that. they always handles argument as connstr formatted value. psql handles argument as database name or connstr, depends on variable argument. $ bin/pg_receivexlog -D xlog_dir/ -S hoge -d postgres -p 5432 pg_receivexlog: missing "=" after "postgres" in connection info string Regards, ------- Sawada Masahiko -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
