"the" implies that there can be only one synchronous standby at that priority, while "a" implies that there could be more than one. So the situation might be different with this patch than previously. (I haven't read the patch so I don't know whether this is actually true, but it might be what Thomas was going for.) Also, I'd like to associate myself with the general happiness about the prospect of having this feature in 9.6 (but without specifically endorsing the code, since I have not read it). -- 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
