Hi list,

Happy newyear to all of you.

We use WAL files for backup purposes. Now we need to restore up to a certain date in december, we have a base backup
fromoctober 24th, but the WAL files start only at october 28th. Is there a way that we can use the WAL files to recover
dataup to half december anyway? I know it is a long shot, but we would be VERY happy if there is a way to have a
(possiblyinconsistent) database that contains the data from the base backup plus the data from the WAL files.   

Cheers,
D.Kniep
