It means it waits forever, or until a trigger file appears - but a trigger file is optional, so its possible to create an awkward situation. I'm not happy with that default, but feedback from Merlin suggested production problems with people not understanding that. I'm happy to change to whatever consensus is, so if you think that's dumb, just shout. -- Simon Riggs EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend
