Re: [HACKERS] Documenting Replication Solutions
Hello Christopher, I remember Bruce pushing towards a 'PostgreSQL Development Group'-statement about replication solutions for PostgreSQL. AFAIK, there is a lot of uncertainty about replication solutions and I think it would be a good thing to give people some guidance. I think in a FAQ or such we should cover these type of questions: - Can I configure a standby server for hot-failover? - Can I do load-balancing? - What kind of replication is possible with PostgreSQL, what do the different solutions implement? - What's the development status of Slony-II?, of Postgres-R, PgCluster, etc... - What's the difference between Slony-II and Postgres-R? Where on the website do we put such a FAQ? Or should some of these questions be part of the main FAQ?

Is somebody already working on that? I don't recall that anyone expressly agreed to do so; I'll see if I can, this week... ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 4: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org

A META-FAQ Style document on techdocs would be nice... we could then link to
that from the pg faq.

[HACKERS] Documenting Replication Solutions
Hi, at the code sprint, we agreed to put together some documentation about current and upcoming replication solutions for PostgreSQL. Is somebody already working on that? For Postgres-R, you can find some information on www.postgres-r.org. And I've just opened a project on pgFoundry. This gives Postgres-R it's own mailing list: http://lists.pgfoundry.org/mailman/listinfo/postgres-r-general I know there is already a Postgres-R project on Gborg. But since everybody is moving to pgFoundry, I'd like to move materials from there and join that with the new website or put it to the pgFoundry project. What about that mailing-list there. Could the archive be 'added' to the new list on pgFoundry? Any opinions or wishes from the Gborg project owners? Regards Markus ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend
