Do we really need a checkpoint there at all? I can't recall right now if there was a good reason why Vadim made it do that. I have a feeling that it might have had to do with an assumption that the recovery environment was completely distinct from live environment; which is a statement that's certainly not going to be true in a query-answering slave. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-patches mailing list (pgsql-patches@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-patches
