Physical streaming replication

Halting and Resuming Replication In PostgreSQL

Sometimes we want WAL records should flow from primary to standby, and WAL records should be flushed to
disk on standby but should not replay, which means WAL records should be stored on remote WAL segments
but should not be restored on standby.

Physical streaming replication is working on mac4 and mac5

Primary Server = 10.20.30.74 (mac4)

Standby Server = 10.20.30.75 (mac5)

On standby server

select pg_is_wal_replay_paused();

select pg_wal_replay_pause();

On Primary Server

Insert a row in cars table of 'zohaib' database

select * from pg_stat_replication;

and have a look at write_lag, flush_lag, replay_lag

On standby server

select pg_wal_replay_resume();

On Primary Server

select * from pg_stat_replication; and have a look at write_lag, flush_lag, replay_lag


sent_lsn: wal records are sent to replica

write_lsn: wal records are written to Operating System cache but not written to disk.

flush_lsn: wal records are written to Disk from Operating System cache.

replay_lsn: means records are applied to database.
