WAL history files - Pgsql 9.2
Hi guys,
Are the history files copied with the wal_files? Or I have to do it
separated?
00000003.history': No such file or directory
I'm using PostgreSQL 9.2.
Cheers
Patrick

Can you please explain the scenario you are referring to ? during streaming
replication ? or during standby promotion ?

Sure...
I've got:
Master01 (sending wal_files to the slaves)
slave01 (streaming replication from master01 + wal_files)
slave02 (streaming replication from master01 + wal_files)
I'll turn slave01 into a master; on recovery.conf:
trigger_file = '/tmp/pg_failover_trigger';touch /tmp/pg_failover_trigger
Then, the new scenario will be:
slave01 (*NEW MASTER*)
slave02 (streaming replication from slave01 + wal_files)
Will slave02 be able to switch the timeline using wal_files provided by the
new master?
Thanks

No.. it didn't copy. i tested here. I had to manually copy the history file
from /var/lib/pgsql/9.2/data/pg_xlogs from the new master to the same
directory on the slaves.

An archive command is able to properly fetch the history files to
define a new timeline. If you rely only on streaming replication, only
9.3 and newer versions are able to do that: the replication protocol
has been extended at this point to allow a standby to fetch from a
primary history files.
