That's what pause_at_recovery_target is aimed for: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/devel/static/recovery-target-settings.html Simply set up the recovery target you want to check, and use pause_at_recovery_target to put the standby in a latent state you can check. If the state of your server does not satisfy your needs, shutdown the server and change the target. Note that operations are not backward btw. -- Michael -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
