I have a scenario where we are doing an application release and they want to be able to potentially rollback to HA if things go bad. So the current process would be:

 

  1. Run select pg_xlog_replay_pause(); on standby to pause replication
  2. Apply changes
  3. If team needs to revert to older version of cluster we would run pg_ctl promote

 

My question is, would pg_ctl prmote start up from the point where replication was paused or would it try and sync before it opens? Thus applying all the changes I am trying to prevent?

 

Thanks,

Brian
