Hi All;
We would like to setup a hot standby server with a forced delay.
Is it possible to setup a hot standby based ONLY on WAL shipping and NOT use streaming replication?
Thanks in advance

The omnipitr tool can provide the delayed slave feature you're looking for.

Look into the --recovery-delay (-w) feature of the omnipitr-restore command which is used in the recovery.conf of the slave

Whether
a slave is a hot standby is not determined by whether you're using
streaming replication or WAL replay. It is determined by setting the
parameter "hot_standby" on the slave and ensuring the master has a
minimum "wal_level" of "hot_standby" as well. So both streaming and wal replay slaves can be hot standbys.https://github.com/omniti-labs/omnipitr/
