That was proposed and rejected earlier, though not in this context. Sounds fine to me. I agree that we should simplify/clarify the file request pattern, which is the source of many difficulties over last few years. I would further propose that I take pg_standby out as a module, so we can more easily support earlier releases. -- Simon Riggs www.2ndQuadrant.com PostgreSQL Training, Services and Support -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
