AFAIK PITR can be used in a scenario where there is a base back-up and we have archived the WAL files after that, now it can use WAL files to apply on base-backup. In this scenario we don't know a point from where to start the next replay. So I believe it will be difficult to use PITR in this scenario. -----Original Message----- From: Fujii Masao [mailto:masao.fu...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, June 19, 2012 7:44 PM To: Amit Kapila Cc: Tom Lane; Alvaro Herrera; Cédric Villemain; Pg Hackers; Robert Haas Subject: Re: [HACKERS] Allow WAL information to recover corrupted pg_controldata On Tue, Jun 19, 2012 at 2:44 AM, Amit Kapila <amit.kap...@huawei.com> wrote: >> AFAIR you can create pg_control from scratch already with pg_resetxlog. >> The hard part is coming up with values for the counters, such as the >> next WAL location.
