I think we cannot make such a statement yet, if ever. I would note that log-based replication is now the mainstay of commercial database replication techniques for loosely-coupled groups of servers. It would seem strange to assume that it should not be good for us too, simply because we know it to be difficult. IMHO the project has a pretty good track record of delivering functionality that looked hard at first glance. -- Simon Riggs www.2ndQuadrant.com PostgreSQL Training, Services and Support -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
