Re: Clustering Database Servers

Slony is the master-slave (not multi-master IIRC) replication environment.

I haven't used it, but apparently there are cognoscenti among us who have.

I would think, a bit, about what kind of "load" (e.g. CPU, network, disk
queues, disk allocation, et cetera) you want to balance before picking up
the hammer ....   (sorry to preach...)

Hi

In MS SQL there is a concept of Clustering database servers. This allows for load balancing. Does PostgreSQL have a
similarconcept? 

Thanks
