I've not played with multimaster (sync/async) and I doubt I will since there's no requirement for it., (yet) In any case, based on my research there's lots of FOSS and (not-so)FOSS based solutions and of course, each comes with their own learning curve and also depends on the complexity of the requirements. (Mind you, even MSSQL with all it's polished point and click interface, you still have times when you pull hairs out) I've done a simple master/slave configuration which is faring well, so that's fine (for me) ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
