-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello Hackers,
I believe comments in the recovery.conf.sample are somehow confusing about standby and SR: # Edit this file to provide the parameters that PostgreSQL needs to # perform an archive recovery of a database, or to act as a log-streaming # replication standby. It seems incomplete. It doesn't recover OR act as a log-streaming replication standby. It can behave as a standby node without SR as well. # When standby_mode is enabled, the PostgreSQL server will work as # a standby. It tries to connect to the primary according to the # connection settings primary_conninfo, and receives XLOG records # continuously. This one is quite unclear as well. We might think that once we are in standby_mode we will be in SR. Again, we can use the standby_mode without primary_conninfo. This parameter only allows to keep the cluster in recovery, it doesn't imply to set up the SR. # By default, a standby server keeps streaming XLOG records from the # primary indefinitely. Same story... Please, find in attachment a proposal of rewording. Comments ?
