By default, synchronous_standby_names is empty, which makes synchronous_commit=on equivalent to synchronous_commit=local. So I think the current default is good, because it means you only need to change ONE parameter to switch from async rep to sync rep (namely, synchronous_standby_names). -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs
