From the title alone, "pgCluster" sounded like the perfect choice for
PostgreSQL clustering.
However on their homepage they provide very little information is a
rough english traslation from what it sounds like. Also:
http://pgcluster.projects.postgresql.org/feature.html
What happens when the load balancer or replicator goes down? Doesn't
seem completly stable to me unless I'm missing something. Does anyone
have experience with this?
slony1 seems to cut out the balancer and replicator and leave the
fallover on server crash for you to figure out. I'm liking the sound
of this, however again it's tough to find decent readups on the
workings of this program.
I found this PDF:
http://developer.postgresql.org/~wieck/slony1/Slony-I-concept.pdf
Provided interesting information, however I'm wondering does anyone
know a site that explains it more? Know of any more online writeups in
PDF format? Most importantly, anyone have good experience with this?
Thanks for the info,
