thanks ...
I'll be curious to hear stories of people using it for replication.
The way I interpret replication, there's an available database (even
if read-only) on both ends. With PITR/on-line backups, the way I
understand it, there's no way to provide availability to the recovery
database because it's in a process of continuous recovery. It
qualifies as high availability in terms of a failover solution, but
the recovery database is not actually available until something
triggers it to recover, at which point any writing done to it causes
it to cease to be a replicant of the base database.
