Never user the term "secondary" myself. I deliberately use "standby" rather than "slave", to differentiate between an exact replica and a synchronised copy (respectively). I use the terms "primary" and "master" more freely but generally try to use primary/standby and master/slave together. If you wanted to move to just one, it would be "master", though we'd need to have a good explanation of "primary" in the index. -- Simon Riggs www.2ndQuadrant.com -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
