TODO: replica information functions

От

Hackers,

Since merging recovery.conf with postgresql.conf is apparently off the
table indefinitely, we could really use some additional information
functions which work on the replica.  Here's my list of what I need for
failover automation:

pg_standby_is_streaming()returns true if the standby is configured for streaming andis currently connected with the
master.returnsfalse if the connection to the master is broken,of if there is no primary_conninfo
 

pg_standby_conninfo()returns connection string to master.  Superuser-only forpreviously discussed reasons

pg_recovery_config(config_item TEXT)returns the specified configuration item from recovery.confsuperuser-only?

Does this make sense?  Is there other information we need?

Off the table as in "somebody needs to actually work on it instead of
just talking about it".

I believe we should have some function to tell if standby is configured for streaming
and another function to tell if everything is okay.

+1.

-1. It could be retrieved using the proposal below.

pg_recovery_config(OUT name text, OUT setting text) SETOF record

or

pg_recovery_config(OUT name text, OUT setting text, IN all bool) SETOF 
record

This function covers pg_standby_conninfo().
