Hi, >Because you didn't disable recovery_target_inclusive, I guess. > http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/static/continuous-archiving.html#RECOVERY-TARGET-INCLUSIVE Thanks. I was almost sure this will fix it. But the issue seems to be something else. Even if I give a time that is a few more minutes before what I got from select now(), it is always moving upto/or just before (depending on the above parameter) transaction id 676. The ooutput reads LOG: recovery stopping before commit of transaction 676, time 2010-07-09 07:49:26.580518+05:30 Is there a way to find out the transaction ids and corresponding SQLs, timeline etc? May be doing the recovery in debug/logging mode or something like that?
