环境：
PostgreSQL 9.2.4
主机:192.25.10.76
从机:192.25.10.71
做postgresql的流复制主从时，会遇到调整max_wal_sengers这个参数，官方文档对这个参数做了一个简要的说明(9.2.4比早先版本多了几句话并做了一些微调)，但没有实际的例子。
1.参数说明：
Specifies the maximum number of concurrent connections from standby servers or streaming base backup clients (i.e., the maximum number of simultaneously running WAL sender processes). The default is zero, meaning replication is disabled. WAL sender processes count towards the total number of connections, so the parameter cannot be set higher than max_connections. This parameter can only be set at server start. wal_level must be set to archive or hot_standby to allow connections from standby servers.
也就是说，这个参数是在主机上设置的，是从机连接到主机的并发连接数之总和，所以这个参数是个正整型。默认值是0，也即默认没有流复制功能。该并发连接数从进程上看，就是各个wal sender进程数之和，可以通过ps -ef|grep senders来查看，所以该值不能超过系统的最大连接数(max_connections，该BUG在9.1.5被修复)，可以允许超过实际的流复制用户数。该参数更改需要重启DB，比如我只配了一个从机:

3.参数生效
文档上说明需要重启DB使之生效，如果动态使之生效会报错如下：

以上为个人经验，希望能给大家一个参考，也希望大家多多支持。如有错误或未考虑完全的地方，望不吝赐教。
