Specifies whether or not you can connect and run queries during recovery, as described in hot-standby. The default value is on. This parameter can only be set at server start. It only has effect during archive recovery or in standby mode.
Recommendations
Set to “on”, unless you want to specifically prohibit people from running queries on a standby server.
