Hi, I have a question of how to use pg_rewind. I see the manual. It says bringing an old master server back online after failover is typical case.
manual: A typical scenario is to bring an old master server back online after failover, as a standby that follows the new master. I came up with an another scenario where user uses a synchronized old master as a new master. If so, pg_rewind need to copy WAL from a source server. Is pg_rewind assuming to use the old master as a new master? If pg_rewind is used only for a standby server installation, pg_rewind does not need to get WAL from source server, does it? regards, -- Kato Sho
