Thread: Dynamically change Master(recovery info) without restarting standby server..

Hi,
  Is there any way to change the *master*  without restarting the *standby*
server. 

Postgresql Documentation says,  -->Recovery.conf file only read on the startup in standby mode. In that
file we specify the "Masterip".   -->If  you want to change the master we need to change the recovery.conf
file and restart the standby node. 
but,        *I Need to change masterip without restarting the standby node.*

No. Restart the standby, documentation is clear here. Your need is
different from what can be done.
