- walsender_more_info.patch (text/x-patch) patch
Attached patch adds some more "metadata" to walsender results: * Adds the current xlog insert location as a third column in IDENTIFY_SYSTEM * Adds a resultset at the start of a base backup that contains the start xlog location (as returned by do_pg_start_backup) * Adds a resultset at the end of a base backup that contains the end xlog location (as returned by do_pg_stop_backup) These are all information that's interesting for the "log receiver" version of pg_basebackup (the changes to BASE_BACKUP) and the pg_streamrecv program (the IDENTIFY_SYSTEM) once integrated. I still haven't had the time to clean up those programs enough to submit as a patch yet (it has progressed past that early post from a month ago or so, but isn't done yet), but I wanted to make sure that the backend parts gets reviewed and added as soon as possible. And they're also quite trivial. That way if I don't find time to clean up the streaming mode receiver in time for 9.1, it can be maintained outside of the main tree until 9.2 - but the small backend changes would still be required. -- Magnus Hagander Me: http://www.hagander.net/ Work: http://www.redpill-linpro.com/
