I have one query related to slony-I. Can I replicate table data in different schemas. Say if have table 'country' in database 'stock' and schema 'stocksch'. And I want to replicate the data in table 'country' of database 'smsdb' and schema 'smssch'. Here, the country table is present in two different schemas. Can I replicate the country table data from schema stocksch to schema smssch or I have to create a schema with the same name for replication.
Thanks a lot for your suggestion. It will help me in taking the decision.

If you can live with a time-lag measured in seconds, then slony will work just fine. If you can't then you'll want dblink.
One other thing you might consider - if you attach "valid_from" time to each price then you can put them in place in advance, and make sure they are replicated before needed.
