[OSGeo-Discuss] Migrating to Postgres 9 for replication?

2012-05-10 Thread Jo Walsh
I would love to hear success stories or horror stories about migrating from Postgres 8.3 or 8.4 to 9, in order to get replication working. At least that is what I have been told we need to do. One master database and two failover copies. It would save a lot of maintenance time, I am imagining!

New efforts (like GeoRSS, KML2.N) skip over it on the grounds of bypassing cultural conflict. Over time it loses its valency as a marketing tool. jo -- ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
