Description:
Hello,
I am using this command to reindex the databases for a PostgreSQL 10
cluster.
What I can not find in the reindex explanation page is how is this affecting
the standby database. I tracked the log creation on the Primary cluster but
I saw nothing like this on the Standby cluster.
I was able to find the following statement on the hot-standby description
page (26.5. Hot Standby) from the documentation:
"As a result, you cannot create additional indexes that exist solely on the
standby, nor statistics that exist solely on the standby. If these
administration commands are needed, they should be executed on the primary,
and eventually those changes will propagate to the standby."
(https://www.postgresql.org/docs/10/hot-standby.html)
Can you please tell me more on this topic or point me to the documentation
page that explained more on this topic (database reindex - synching with the
standby cluster and impact on the standby cluster).
Thank you,
Andrei Bancila
