Hello All, I am very new to postgres and this is my first post to the community, so please forgive my ignorance if any. I am trying to achieve a circular replication with postgres; meaning two postgres servers are slaves of each other. This is a requirement for our setup. I tried googling through the topic and got very confused about this topic and I am still not able to decide if this is even possible with postgres. As many say it is not recommended in postgres or replication cycles should be avoided. I went through Bucardo which uses perl scripts to achieve this, but I am looking at something more native if available. I downloaded and installed postgres9.3beta2 version and could successfully do a cascaded streaming replication following this tutorial: http://bartek.im/blog/2012/12/04/postgresql-92-streaming-primer.html
But I am unable to make it setup in a circular replication method. I also went through BDR (Bi-directional replication) using libpq which looks like a recommended way of doing this, but that looks like very new and still in some experimental stage. I need some expert advice on if this is possible with postgres and should I go ahead with researching on how efficiently to do this !! Thanks, --- Jayesh
