Synch Replication - Synch rep 0114 - Mailing list pgsql-hackers

Hi, I have been testing in recent, the Synch Replication(Synch rep 0114 (Jan 14, 2009) ) on PostgreSQL version 8.4
(postgresql-8.4devel_20081229.tar.bz2)I followed the steps in Readme as well used the test script provided in patch for
thesetup. As per wiki, I am able to bring up the walsender and the walreceiver process in a single server as well when
primaryand seconday are setup on different nodes(making necessary changes to the test script) Then I am able to see the
walsenderand walreceiver process are in progress. Then I try to insert some records into the table created (within the
script)as below: ./psql psql (8.4devel) Type "help" for help. postgres=# insert into temp values(5,'e'); I get the
followingoutput : Standby 6820 FATAL: unexpected EOF on replication connection: lost synchronization with server: got
messagetype "c", length -805175295 Primary 6821 LOG: unexpected EOF on replication connection Primary 6821 LOG:

01 After this, I see both walsender and walreceiver are down and writer process is still running. Is this because,
thereis no provision of replication between primary and secondary? Or is it because write transactions are not
supported?In case where primary and standby are run on two different nodes, I am able to bring up the walsender and
walreceiverprocess. But atleast read transactions( records inserted in primary ) are not getting reflected in the
standbynode. In such cases I would like to know about what exact features are working with this patch? Because, in the
Readmesection of Synch Replication wiki, it is mentioned to check whether the walsender and walreceiver process are in
progress.How about replication and read - write transactions? Also with the latest patch Synch rep 0128 (Jan 28, 2009),
Amgetting compilation errors. Please let me about the correct status of the Synch Replication about what features are
workingproperly. Regards, Smita Patil <br /><hr align="left" width="300" /> View this message in context: <a
