[ADMIN] replication using WAL archives

[Iain]

Hi,   I thought I read something about this in relation to v8, but I can't find any reference to it now... is it (or will it be) possible to do master-slave style database replication by transmitting log files to the standby server and having it process them?   Also, just out of interest, if I wanted to mine my log files so as to be able to produce SQL would that be feasible? Presumably pg does something like this internally for rollforward recovery, so I guess it would be possible.   regards Iain
