Hackers, Currently we can see each master's current replicas using pg_stat_replication. However, there is no way from a replica, that I know of, to figure out who its master is other than to look at recovery.conf.
We should probably have a function, like pg_replication_master(), which gives the host address of the current master. This would help DBAs for large replication clusters a lot. Obviously, this would only work in streaming. -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL Experts Inc. http://pgexperts.com -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
