Also 0. The same time we would have done so if replication had not been configured at all. I think the basic problem here is that we can talk about "asynchronous replication" and "synchronous replication" but there are n>2 possible/useful behaviors (I would guess principally 0, 2, 4, and 6, but YMMV). So we're going to need some way to clarify what we mean. BTW, in case my previous emails on this topic might have given someone the contrary impression, I'm not really that worked up about this either. Interesting? Yes. Have opinions? Yes. Lie awake nights worrying about it? Nope. :-) ...Robert -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
