I think there are definite use-cases for pg_standby as well, even when we have SR. SR requires you to have a reasonably reliable network connection that lets you do an arbitrary TCP connection. There are a lot of scenarios that could still use the "here's-a-file-you-choose-how-to-get-it-over-to-the-other-end" style transfer, and that don't necessarily care that there is a longer delay. *Most* people will still use SR, I'm sure. -- Magnus Hagander Me: http://www.hagander.net/ Work: http://www.redpill-linpro.com/ -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
