Re: Replication with non-read-only standby.

Thanks.

I ended up using pglogical, since I don't really need Bi-directional replication and docs for UDR suggest using
pglogicalinstead. 
Although I ran into a problem there, but pglogical seems to be the answer.

Regards,
Nick.

sorry for this silly question, but I am not sure to understand why BDR is
not an option.
As far as I know, it was designed to handle such cases.

My 2 cents,
