Re: replication for hot-standby?

Yes, it does in /some way/, but it's quite hackish and error prone.. :/

If you restart the node, it will, more likely than not, try to repeat the DDL script, which will, almost certainly, fail the second time just as it did the first time.

Sorry, this really doesn't sound like something I'd like to use in a 
production environment..
