Brilliant, however I'm not to caught everything in this thread.
I would love to contribute to this patch, but I have absolutely no
C/C++ experience (webdev languages only).
to tell simple, when SET LOCAL synchronous_commit TO ON is used on the fly
for the current transaction it would be great to have an other option to
choose
if this setting is for all standby or a specific one, leaving the other
async... gotcha? :)
