Hi,
The document(high-availability.sgml) says that there are only two ways
to exit standby mode.
26.2.2. Standby Server Operation
Standby mode is exited and the server switches to normal operation when
pg_ctl promote is run or a trigger file is found (promote_trigger_file).
But there is another way, by calling pg_promote function.
I think we need to document it, doesn't it?
I attached a patch. Please review and let me know your thoughts.
