questionon the subject, once the standby is up and running, is there a way to determine whether it is in synch with the
primarydatabase (in terms of the last WAL applied)? I guess that the standby cannot be queried as it would be in

At 8.4, no, you cannot query the standby.
9.0 introduces the Hot Standby feature to allow you to query the standby.
