I'm posting on hackers because I think that there is a problem in one of three places, and I'm not sure which: (1) The documentation needs clarification. (2) A LOG message needs clarification. (3) There is a bug in recovery. (unlikely) This issue was previously posted here with no response: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-admin/2008-10/msg00123.php Regarding the documentation -- even if I'm interpreting it correctly, it might be good to specifically state that it is the commit times of database transactions which matter for recovery_target_time; that transactions started but not committed by that time will be omitted, regardless of the recovery_target_inclusive setting. Regarding the LOG message, it is confusing to have a recovery.conf file which contains this: recovery_target_time = '2008-10-16 17:00:00.0' and see this in the log: [2008-10-16 23:04:26.006 CDT] 19951 LOG: last completed transaction was at log time 2008-10-16 17:00:23.205347-05 -Kevin
