Re: Check Postgres DB open mode - Mailing list pgsql-admin

Hi Listers,

I am new to postgres and would like to know how to check whether the DB is opened in read write mode or read-only mode.

Thanks,

Goti

Hi Goti,

The PostgreSQL database isn't "opened", but the clients connect to it.

Whether the connection is read-only can be found out by executing the command

    show transaction_read_only

Unless you are connected to a standby server, connections will be read-write.

Regards,

Holger
