How is shutting down the standby a good idea? Seems like that will block the master too --- or at least result in WAL log files piling up rapidly. If the standby goes off-line, abandoning it and starting from a fresh base backup when you are ready to restart it seems like the most likely recovery path. For sure I don't see this as the "#1 priority". regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
