doc: Add timeline as valid recovery target in standby.signal documentation

petere · petere · commit a37980d42824 · 2019-09-27T16:21:47.000+02:00
The documentation states that no target settings will be used when standby.signal is present, but this is not quite the case since recovery_target_timeline is a valid recovery target for a standby. Update the documentation with this exception. Author: David Steele <david@pgmasters.net> Discussion: https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/flat/e445616d-023e-a268-8aa1-67b8b335340c%40pgmasters.net
