<http://lwn.net/Articles/193946/>]Cluster immaturity. MySQL has been
shipping a workable single-master replication+failover for quite a while
now in most Linux distros. MySQL's multi-master solution, while
requiring RAM (not disk) for storage, is also well-integrated and
deployed in production.
In contrast, the PostgreSQL team has chosen to provide hooks for
replication and failover. This has led to a situation where there are
multiple projects supporting replications/failover, none of which are
production-ready nor shipped in a modern Linux distro.
Modern systems *must* scale beyond a single computer, and the PostgreSQL
support shipped in modern Linux distros is completely incapable of this.
I really would appreciate a response. Thanks~ Michael
