When starting up from a basebackup taken off a standby extra logic has to be applied to compute the point where the data directory is consistent. Normal base backups use a WAL record for that purpose, but that isn't possible on a standby. That logic had a error check ensuring that the cluster's control file indicates being in recovery. Unfortunately that check was too strict, disregarding the fact that the control file could also indicate that the cluster was shut down while in recovery. That's possible when the a cluster starting from a basebackup is shut down before the backup label has been removed. When everything goes well that's a short window, but when either restore_command or primary_conninfo isn't configured correctly the window can get much wider. That's because inbetween reading and unlinking the label we restore the last checkpoint from WAL which can need additional WAL. To fix simply also allow starting when the control file indicates "shutdown in recovery". There's nicer fixes imaginable, but they'd be more invasive. Backpatch to 9.2 where support for taking basebackups from standbys was added. |

This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: http://www.postgresql.org/download See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions. The latest version of this software may be obtained at http://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
