Thread: pg_standby

pg_standby

From
"Thomas F. O'Connell"
Date:
I see that Simon has pushed pg_standby into contrib for 8.3. Is there
anything that would make the current version in CVS unsuitable for use
in 8.2.x? I've done a cursory inspection of the code, but I'll admit
that I haven't looked up the interfaces used from postgres_fe.h and
pg_config_manual.h to see whether anything would be unusable or behave
unexpectedly in 8.2.

I'm assuming the correct way to install it would be to take the
pg_standby directory from CVS, add it to an 8.2.x source contrib tree,
and build as if it were a part of contrib in 8.2?

A post from Simon on a thread in pgsql-admin answers the primary question:


And I answered the part about building from testing. The answer seems to be "yes".
