Does anybody know whether a standby server waits for pending WAL records/files while promotion is requested? I assume that no data update is performed on the primary server while promotion. I imagine that a standby server stops to replay WAL and promotes as soon as SIGUSR1 signal is received. The motivation of this question behind is I want to have a complete copy of the primary server using promote command. Best regards, -- Tatsuo Ishii SRA OSS, Inc.
