-1. Writing an archive_command already requires a PhD in PostgreSQL-ology. The very last thing we should do is invent even more ways for an archive command to be subtly wrong. I have a feeling the already-known ways to do it wrong are not too well documented, which is another problem. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company
