Since it's a 24x7 app, you have database replication, virtual IPs and a
fail-over manager in case a server crashes?
Anyway, read through the PG 15 release notes. If none really affect you,

Chandran,
1. For PITR, you should use a tool like PgBackRest. It handles all
$PGDATA and WAL archiving. It's multithreaded, too,
2. pg_restore is just for logical backups.
3. Streaming Replication is for *hot standby*, not backups.

Do you *currently* take regular backups?
We'd be glad to show you how to take regular logical backups.

When you know that the SELECT statement runs on the local machines, then on
each server, run these SQL statements:

Foreign key "code tables" are ubiquitous in good database design; another
example is zip/postal codes and cities. Statuses are another standard
usage. Thus, what you're doing is absolutely bog-standard. (In your case,

Note also that 15.6 is about 18 months old. Upgrading really does only
take a few minutes, if you download the binaries before installation.

There's almost certainly a way to do what you need done without using
arrays. Might require a bit of rethinking, though.

Using PgBackRest might be more convenient, since it handles everything you
need, is multithreaded, never removes too many wal files, compresses files
if you want and also encrypts them if you want.
