Failover on Windows

Hi all

I'm testing a warm standby setup using PostgreSQL 9 x64 on Windows 2008 R2.
The problem is that when I put the trigger file on the location
specified in the parameter
'trigger_file' of the recovery.conf, nothing happens. No log entries,
the recovery just continues
as if nothing has happened.
Any clues of what may be wrong?

Thanks for the attention.

What command (pg_standby? cp?) is supplied in restore_command for warm-standby?
Or you are testing streaming replication + hot standby?

At least if you use pg_standby, you have to create the trigger file on
the location
specified in -t option of pg_standby.

Hi Masao

Yes, I'm using pg_standby in the restore_command. I thought that to specify
a trigger_file in the recovery.conf file would be enough to be able to
stop the recovery process.
So, I ignored the -t option of the pg_standby. By specifying it, now I'm
able to stop the recovery process.

Thanks for your help.
