Good to know that such tool is available now. Hopefully it'll be integrated to the core distribution of postgres. Is the tool capable of migrating earlier version such as 7.4.5 and 8.0 to the latest ? Thanks, -- Husam

It will take a LOT less time then normal backup/restore. -- Shoaib Mir EnterpriseDB (www.enterprisedb.com) On 3/21/07, Warren Little < [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: 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 Warren Little Chief Technology Officer Meridias Capital Inc ph 866.369.7763 _______________________________________________ Slony1-general mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slony.info/mailman/listinfo/slony1-general ********************************************************************** This message contains confidential information intended only for the use of the addressee(s) named above and may contain information that is legally privileged.
