Hi all, I'm wondering if it is possible to connect a postgresql 8.2 server to a datadir in readonly mode. We actually want to implement a very large project, using postgresql database, with pgpool. Our idea is, that one postgres instance, can read/write to the files, while the other one should only read. To avoid corruption, we want to set the second instance to read-only mode. Is there a way to set such parameters, within startup parameters? with Regards Thorsten Körner -- CappuccinoSoft Business Systems Hamburg
