That was pretty much the sweet spot I was aiming at. Many databases support such functionality. Oracle supports five gradations of functionality, of which we hit first two. There is a sixth level also, which we can hit using Hannu's ideas but thats a roll-your own for now. It would be fair to say that we may support Standby Databases with asynchronous log file shipping. [I have an outstanding question on how to include LWlock support into the archiver, required to flesh out the feature set, and of course assuming these patches being accepted.] -- Simon Riggs EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq
