Incidentally, this is a popular Oracle feature. It's a poor man's "flashback" and similar to how some filesystems automatically create regular snapshots of every home directory so you can get back stuff at some arbitrary point in the past. I haven't read the patch but are you delaying delivering the log or delaying replaying it? I think you actually want the latter so in case of a real failure you can choose between replaying the last 5 minutes and recovering everything or intentionally dropping that history if the failure was caused by an application problem. -- greg -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
