The right one is https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/flat/00F0B2CEF6D0CEF8A90119D4%40eje.credativ.lan and the patch is Author: Tom Lane <tgl@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Branch: master [0e0f43d6f] 2016-08-31 08:52:13 -0400 Branch: REL9_6_STABLE Release: REL9_6_0 [3fc489cb3] 2016-08-31 08:52:13 -0400 Branch: REL9_5_STABLE Release: REL9_5_5 [c40bb1155] 2016-08-31 08:52:13 -0400 Branch: REL9_4_STABLE Release: REL9_4_10 [f4e40537e] 2016-08-31 08:52:13 -0400 Branch: REL9_3_STABLE Release: REL9_3_15 [baf111d31] 2016-08-31 08:52:13 -0400 Branch: REL9_2_STABLE Release: REL9_2_19 [823df401d] 2016-08-31 08:52:13 -0400 Branch: REL9_1_STABLE Release: REL9_1_24 [e3439a455] 2016-08-31 08:52:13 -0400 Prevent starting a standalone backend with standby_mode on. This can't really work because standby_mode expects there to be more WAL arriving, which there will not ever be because there's no WAL receiver process to fetch it. Moreover, if standby_mode is on then hot standby might also be turned on, causing even more strangeness because that expects read-only sessions to be executing in parallel. Bernd Helmle reported a case where btree_xlog_delete_get_latestRemovedXid got confused, but rather than band-aiding individual problems it seems best to prevent getting anywhere near this state in the first place. Back-patch to all supported branches. In passing, also fix some omissions of errcodes in other ereport's in readRecoveryCommandFile().
