MySQL has been shipping a workable single-master replication+failover for quite a while now in most Linux distros. MySQL's multi-master solution, while requiring RAM (not disk) for storage, is also well-integrated and deployed in production.
In contrast, the PostgreSQL team has chosen to provide hooks for replication and failover. This has led to a situation where there are multiple projects supporting replications/failover, none of which are production-ready nor shipped in a modern Linux distro.
Modern systems *must* scale beyond a single computer, and the PostgreSQL support shipped in modern Linux distros is completely incapable of this.
I really would appreciate a response. Thanks~ Michael -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
