hello all,

Iam somewhat new to Slony. Have a question on controlled switchover.

I have 1 master/ 1slave setup . When i want to do a switchover, using lock
set, move set, how do i know the 'slave' has caught up with the master? Say
the slave is behind the master by N transactions, and i issue lock set, move
set, will slony automatically ensure the slave gets in sync before doing the
switchover? or is it the 'applications' responsibility.. If its the latter,
how can i tell when the slave has caught up? I looked at:
http://www.slony.info/documentation/monitoring.html
I can't easily tell looking at contents of the sl_status, sl_confirm,
sl_event if the slave has caught up.. The sl_setsync table shows 0 rows,
(sl_setsync : Contains information about the state of synchronization of
each replication set, including transaction snapshot data. ). if its 0, does
it mean everything in sync?

Thanks in advance.
