Hello People,

In reference to my last post
<http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/51E4725C.3050609@tiendalinux.com;
, my question is: It is possible to recover more (subsequent) WAL files
when I have already recover a postgres 8.4 database using a PITR ? I
have read on some places that it's not possible and I want to confirm
that, is it possible in 9.1 ?

I am confused.   You did recovery, and then you want to do more WAL
files past your stop point?

With 8.4 (up to 9.0) you have to restart the
PITR over and over again, if you "missed" the desired point. Starting
with 9.1 there is pause_at_recovery_target(). Is that what you mean?

Yes, that is the right information.
