Thread: two questions regarding warm-standby on 8.4
Hello.
I am configuring warm-standby as documented here:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/interactive/warm-standby.html
I am using "pg_standby", & may have it working corrrectly, but am not sure.
1) The standby database never 'starts', right? (/etc/init.d/postgresql-8.4 start" times out; I can't connect to the db to see if tables are correct).
2) Because of #1, I suppose I can't do a pg_dump on the standby db?
Thanks.

Sounds right on all counts to me. Starting with 9.0 you can have a hot standby which can be queried while it is the replication target. -Kevin
