Hello People, In reference to my last post , my question is: It is possible to recover more (subsequent) WAL files when I have already recover a postgres 8.4 database using a PITR ? I have read on some places that it's not possible and I want to confirm that, is it possible in 9.1 ?

I am confused.   You did recovery, and then you want to do more WAL
files past your stop point?

With 8.4 (up to 9.0) you have to restart the PITR over and over again, if you "missed" the desired point. Starting with 9.1 there is pause_at_recovery_target(). Is that what you mean?
