Hello,
I need to get data migrated from a pg8.1 cluster to a pg8.2 cluster
and was wondering how well slony will accomplish this task.
The database size is about 250GB, so doing a dump and restore will
take longer than the maintenance window for system downtime.
I have read several posts on the postgres mailing lists that people
recommend using slony to do major version upgrades, so I thought to
give it a try.
One of the concerns I have is regarding the limitation that slony
does not support large objects, is this referring to the postgres
LargeObject type?
ie are bytea fields of significant size replicated?
Also, is there a guide to configuring Slony-I on an active system, or
is the procedure the same (aside for the standard "backup all data
before you begin")
thanks
