Hi all, I’m trying to work out a procedure for a safe zero data loss switchover under (high) load, which allows the old master to be reconnected without the use of pgrewind.
Would the following be sane? - open connection to database - smart shutdown master - terminate all other connections - wait for shutdown (archiving will finish) - Identify last archived WAL file name (ensure it’s on backup server.) - wait till a standby has applied this WAL - promote that standby - attach old master to new master Cheers, James Sewell -- James Sewell, *Chief Architect, Jirotech* Suite 46, Jones Bay Wharf, 26-32 Pirrama Road, Pyrmont NSW 2009 *P *(+61) 2 8099 9000 <(+61)%202%208099%209000> *W* www.jirotech.com *F * (+61) 2 8099 9099 <(+61)%202%208099%209000> -- The contents of this email are confidential and may be subject to legal or professional privilege and copyright.
