<P><FONT FACE="Arial">Hi,</FONT>

<P><FONT FACE="Arial">I was checking the synchronous replication scenarios. I have a test application, which reads counter (COUNTER column) from the table (COUNTER_TABLE) and increments the counter and updates the table. This will be done in a loop. I have attached the test app for your reference.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE=2 COLOR="#000000"> <<test_app.cpp>> </FONT>
<BR><FONT FACE="Arial">When the test_app is in the loop, I bring down the standby node's interface (ifconfig eth0 down). With this, the test_app in the active node hangs at the SELECT statement and this hang lasted for ~15 minutes and then the updation resumed after that. I have configured 'Replication_timeout' as 50 seconds.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT FACE="Arial">Proceeding further to the above, I brought back the interface up on the standby node but the replication did not happen.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT FACE="Arial">Are these known issues? And are there any workarounds to deal with these problems?</FONT>
