PostgreSQL 11 and below used a configuration file named
|
|
<filename>recovery.conf</filename>
|
|
<indexterm><primary>recovery.conf</primary></indexterm>
|
|
to manage replicas and standbys. Support for this file was removed in PostgreSQL 12. See
|
|
<link linkend="release-prior">the release notes for PostgreSQL 12</link> for details
|
|
on this change.

<para>

On PostgreSQL 12 and above,
|
|
<link linkend="continuous-archiving">archive recovery, streaming replication, and PITR</link>
|
|
are configured using
|
|
<link linkend="runtime-config-replication-standby">normal server configuration parameters</link>.
|
|
These are set in <filename>postgresql.conf</filename> or via
|
|
<link linkend="sql-altersystem">ALTER SYSTEM</link>
|
|
like any other parameter.

The server will not start if a <filename>recovery.conf</filename> exists.

PostgreSQL 15 and below had a setting
|
|
<literal>promote_trigger_file</literal>, or
|
|
<literal>trigger_file</literal> before 12.
|
|
Use <command>pg_ctl promote</command> or call
|

<function>pg_promote()</function> to promote a standby instead.
