Well, why can't the database names > be different? I could have use for that. Because of way postgresql replication is implemented. This multihost feature is for clusters. Either for automatic switch from one cluster node to another when master node fails and one of the standbys get promoted to master, or for load balancing between hot standby nodes. Postgresql allows different replicas listen on different ports, because each replica has its own postgresql conf, but repication works on the node level, not on the database level, so all the databases from master node would be replicated with their original names. -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
