Reading documents coming with Simon's patches, I'm a little bit confused by the idea of "synchronous standbys".
In the sgmls doc, "The commit wait will last until the first reply from any standby. Multiple standby servers allow increased availability and possibly increase performance as well." So in my understanding there could be one or more synchronous standbys. However in his mail: "If the current synchronous standby dies then one of the other standbys will take over." It seems there's only one synchronous standby allowed at the same time. Does anybody know which one is correct? -- Tatsuo Ishii SRA OSS, Inc.
