The problem I have is that there is already a GUC named "hot_standby", which determines whether an instance is in hot (as opposed to warm?) mode if it is a standby. This is proposing to add a setting named "in_hot_standby" which says nothing about the hotness, but something about the standbyness. Note that these are all in the same namespace. I think we could use "in_recovery", which would be consistent with existing naming. -- Peter Eisentraut 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
