Hi,

I am trying PITR in a test machine (same PG version 9.2.4 same O/S Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit). All archived WAL files are shipped and saved in /var/pgsql/data/archive, the latest transaction txid of them is 75666. I want to recover PG at a point of time that if XIDs are equal or smaller than '75634' so I have the following recovery.conf (only two lines):

restore_command = 'cp /var/pgsql/data/archive/%f %p'
recovery_target_xid = '75634'

After the restart of PG, the recovery.conf is processed and it is renamed to recovery.done. However it restored all (75666) instead of '75634'.

postgres=# select txid_current();
txid_current
--------------
75666
(1 row)

Can you please advise?

regards
