Hi,

Is it possible to use a standby instance as a master/primary for another
standby in Postgres 9.0? In other words, does PG 9.0 supports cascading
standby configuration?

Thanks,
Igor

No, but 9.2 will support that feature, known as cascading replication.

No, that's a 9.2 feature in development.

If you can build PostgreSQL from source and apply patches, we could use
your help testing it!
