Обсуждение: Point-in-time data recovery - v.7.4

Hello

I am trying to find out when 'Point-in-time data recovery' functionality
will be available with postgreSQL but I can not find concrete info about
this.

References in mailinglists talk about version 7.4 and in the TODO list
is under the section 'urgent'.

Anybody knows when this functionality will be available with
prod-quality?

It was planned for 7.4 but got bumped since the work was not finished.
There are patches floating around and people are putting some effort
into it, so hopefully we will see something in 7.5, but it is dependent
on the code being finished before the end of 7.5 development cycle. If
you want to help code PITR please send a message to hackers.

It didn't get done.

I don't think so.

Jan Wieck has a proposal for a new replication system which will
offer a trick for producing point in time as a side benefit.  We are
aiming to have that software in use sooner rather than later, but it
hasn't been written yet.

Hi all,

Just another question on all this :
When will postgres have win32 native
support. I've been gathering information
from bits and pieces I found on the net,
but never got an official answer.

Some said it will be in 7.4, but it's not there,
and from what I gathered about a month ago
was that it was aimed for release in version 8.0
So I have been under the impression that there
will never be a 7.5 release.

Is there anyone that can help me clear up my
confusion in this matter?

Franco Bruno Borghesi explained :
=> I think it was delayed until 7.5... same for win32 port.

It is planned for the next release, which will probably be 7.5, but
might possibly be 8.0.  Of course, it was planned for the 7.4 release as
well, but it was not finished in time, so there are no guarantees.
That's about as definitive as it gets (unless you are going to write the
code yourself)

We are hoping for 7.5.

Not sure if the next release is 7.5 or 8.0.

Have you seen the FAQ entry about Win32.  We run under Cygwin.

Hehe, I've actually done something like that before, and wouldn't
mind having a go at it, but my immediate problem is solved. At
least when people ask me what the next release is now, I can give
them better than "Erm.. I'm not really sure" :)

Thanks for the replies everyone.

Kind Regards
Stefan
