Hot Standby design has been growing on the PostgreSQL Wiki for some weeks now.
I've updated the design to reflect all feedback received so far on various topics. http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Hot_Standby It's not hugely detailed in every area, but it gives a flavour of the topics and issues related to them. Comments or questions welcome here, or I will discuss specific areas in more detail as I tackle those topics. -- 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
