+ <primary><varname>synchronous_standby_names</> configuration parameter</primary>
+ </indexterm>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ Specifies a list of standby names that can become the sole
+ synchronous standby. Other standby servers connect that are also on
+ the list become potential standbys. If the current synchronous standby
+ goes away it will be replaced with one of the potential standbys.
+ Specifying more than one standby name can allow very high availability.
+ </para>
Can anybody please enlighten me? I do not quite follow "Other standby
servers connect that are also on the list become potential standbys"
part.
Can I read this as "Other standby servers that are also on the list
become potential synchrnous standbys"?
