I think 'immediate' would be a better choice. One reason is that we've used the term 'fast promotion' in the past for a different feature. Another is that 'immediate' might sound slightly scary to people who are familiar with what 'pg_ctl stop -mimmediate' does. And you want people doing this to be just a little bit scared: not too scared, but a little scared. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company
