I can't parse that. I guess I'm wondering whether standby_mode itself should move into pg_control. Otherwise, you need a GUC somewhere that says whether or not you should even try standby_mode plus a trigger file that can override the GUC. It seems like there's one bit of information that's being spread out across multiple places. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise Postgres Company -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
