Обсуждение: Hot standby, recovery_starts_paused

recovery_starts_paused is useless as it is. It pauses the recovery right
after the first WAL record, all right, but before we see a running-xacts
record, we won't let any backends in. And if you can't connect, you
can't unpause, so it's stuck forever.

It should probably behave as "pause after reaching WAL record that
allows backends to connect".

Hmmm, strange. That was an earlier bug; I thought I'd fixed that.

Agreed, thanks.
