Do we need to keep the value consistent across all the servers in the flock? If not, is the behavior halfway sane upon failover? If we need the DBA to keep the value in sync manually, that's going to be a recipe for trouble. Which is going to bite particularly hard during those stressing moments when disaster strikes and things have to be done in emergency mode. -- Álvaro Herrera http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
