What I intend to do from here is make a list of all desired use cases, then ask for people to propose ways of configuring those. Hopefully we don't need to discuss the meaning of the phrase "sync rep", we just need to look at the use cases. That way we will be able to directly compare the flexibility/complexity/benefits of configuration between different proposals. I think this will allows us to rapidly converge on something useful. If multiple solutions exist, we may then be able to decide/vote on a prioritisation of use cases to help resolve any difficulty. -- Simon Riggs www.2ndQuadrant.com PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Training and Services -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
