Quick and dirty :
SQL=$(psql -tA -h $MASTER $DB <<< "select E'select \''||table_name||E'\', '||
column_name||' from '||table_name||' order by '||column_name||' desc limit 1;'
from information_schema.columns where table_schema='public' and
ordinal_position=1 order by table_name;select E'select \''||sequence_name||
E'\', last_value from '||sequence_name||';' from information_schema.sequences
where sequence_schema='public' order by sequence_name;")
psql -tA -h $SLAVE $DB <<< "select pg_last_xlog_replay_location();$SQL" >
$SLAVE.check
psql -tA -h $MASTER $DB <<< "select pg_current_xlog_location();$SQL" >
$MASTER.check
if diff -u $MASTER.check $SLAVE.check; then
cat $MASTER.check
echo -e "\e[32msync ok\e[m"
else
echo -e "\e[31msync bad\e[m"
fi

I dont, actually. But whichever order the transactions eventually commit in,
I'd expect that order to be the same on the slave and the host ? And I
wouldn't expect anything to finish on the slave before it finishes on the
master ?
