Nothing, and that's what I do. I just think it's a bit fuzzy. Maybe I'm misunderstanding the purpose of REPLICA IDENTITY, but I read it as saying "this is the replication key for this relation". If you use REPLICA IDENTITY FULL then the replication tool goes "nah, I think I'll pick the PK instead" is that really right? It's not a major issue. -- Craig Ringer http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Training & Services -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
