First of all thanks Fabio.
I think that I'm missing something :
In the next questionI'm not talking about streaming replication,rather on
recovery :
1.When the secondary get the wals from the primary it tries to replay them
correct ?
2. By replaying it just go over the wal records and run them in the
secondary ?
3.All those changes are saved in the shared_buffer(secondary) or the
changed are immediately done on the data files blocks ?
4.The secondary will need a checkpoint in order to flush those changes to
the data files and in order to reach a restart point ?
So, basically If I had a checkpoint during the clone, the secondary should
also have a checkpoint when I recover the secondary right ?
