Re: Replication lag

Hello Wasim,

If I understand your problem correctly, you are trying to use the replica
to run queries for some kind of report. For those cases, I recommend
setting up a logical replication which will allow you to have a replica
that can be modified based on your needs. For instance, on the target
database (replica) you could create indices to improve the performance of
your query. An analysis of the execution plan would be necessary, of course.

Regards,

Gaspare
