I'm testing synchronous replication on 9.2devel - both instances are on a single machine.
The primary shows synchronous_commit = on and synchronous_standby_names = ''. The standby receives updates fine. Now, does the 'synchronous_commit = on' absolutely mean that the session is sync-replicating? Could it be non-synchronously replicating? If so, this information in the manual seems wrong: " 25.2.6.1. Basic Configuration Once streaming replication has been configured, configuring synchronous replication requires only one additional configuration step: synchronous_standby_names must be set to a non-empty value. " ( the 'must be set' part ) Two questions: 1. How to query a session to make absolutely sure that replication is actually synchronous? 2. Does sync-repl really need synchronous_standby_names to be set?
