The problem is that the WAL data can be wrong in these cases, and since the standbys only know what they were told in the WAL stream, their images will be wrong even if the master is valid. I would have thought that the referenced page is clear enough about needing to check the standbys; do you think it isn't? regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin
