The log sequence number is not a good way to measure the success of PITR,
since after a successful PITR PostgreSQL will switch to a new time line,
and the log sequence will change.
Two ideas:
- Get the transaction ID with
SELECT txid_current();
You can use that with the "recovery_target_xid" parameter in recovery.conf.
- Use pg_create_restore_point() to create a restore point and use that with
"recovery_target_name" in recovery.conf.
