restore_command, if the connection to the primary server is lost. This ensures that the standby can recover automatically, if the connection is lost for a long time and standby falls behind so much that the required WAL segments have been archived and deleted in the master. This also makes standby_mode useful without streaming replication; the server will keep retrying restore_command every few seconds until the trigger file is found. That's the same basic functionality pg_standby offers, but without the bells and whistles. To implement that, refactor the ReadRecord/FetchRecord functions. The FetchRecord() function introduced in the original streaming replication patch is removed, and all the retry logic is now in a new function called XLogReadPage(). XLogReadPage() is now responsible for executing restore_command, launching walreceiver, and waiting for new WAL to arrive from primary, as required. This also changes the life cycle of walreceiver. When launched, it now only tries to connect to the master once, and exits if the connection fails, or is lost during streaming for any reason. The startup process detects the death, and re-launches walreceiver if necessary. |

PostgreSQL Database Management System ===================================== This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL database management system. PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: http://www.postgresql.org/download See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the file HISTORY. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions. The latest version of this software may be obtained at http://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
