I don't disagree, but "standby.enabled" or whatever isn't any better, for the inverse reason. But replication and PITR are the same thing, so any name is going to have that problem. One way out of that would be to develop higher-level abstractions, like pg_ctl start -m standby or something, similar to how pg_ctl promote is an abstraction and got people away from fiddling with trigger files. -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
