I think I want to try it out for a while longer before configuring Slony-I to use 'service=slony-db-node1', but it sure seems promising. The one trouble with it is that the documentation is limited, and doesn't particularly fully describe what it does. (e.g. - what happens if you have interacting parms, such as where pg_service.conf indicates some values, and you add others that might 'conflict') Of course, that's a case for improving the docs, which is often the Right Idea... _______________________________________________ Slony1-general mailing list [email protected] http://gborg.postgresql.org/mailman/listinfo/slony1-general
