Re: Remove Standby (SLAVE) from Primary (MASTER) - Postgres9.1

We need to keep the data as it is so remving data fold is not feasible.
If I run "pg_ctl promote" on the slave to make it fail over, this will break the replication and then clean up the configuration related to replication. Any feedback?

Thanks,
Joanna

Not sure that is what OP wants. From the original post:

" ...
2. After the standby is removed from the primary, both of nodes
are in standalone configuration. "
