This sounds good to me as well. > I'm not sure I understand the proposal though. In short, I would propose the following: - Have --create-slot only create a slot, then exit for both pg_recvlogical and pg_receivexlog. - Have --drop-slot drop a slot, then exit. - Remove the --start switch in pg_recvlogical, and let the utility start streaming by default. By doing so both utilities will behave similarly with the same set of options. > If you don't specify > --create-slot, nor --start, what would the program do? Nothing? Complain if neither --create-slot nor --drop-slot nor --start are specified: $ pg_recvlogical -f - --slot toto -d postgres pg_recvlogical: at least one action needs to be specified Try "pg_recvlogical --help" for more information. $ echo $? 1 -- Michael -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
