The only negative issue is replication. I have checked several Postgres Replication options and unsure which way to go. Can anyone recommend a replication option that meets the following:

 

  • Does not use triggers. Usually slow, and one action that modifies several records, can trigger many actions on slaves/peers.
  • Does use WAL, or other log, so that SQL DDL/DML is copied to slave/peer, rather than the result of the DDL/DML.
  • Must provide master-master and master-slave replication
  • Simple to configure and maintain

 

 

Is there any comparative analysis of the different pgsql replication systems out there? SO far I can think of erserver (free + payware),  mammoth, dbbalancer, pgreplication. Have I missed any?

If such a thing doesn't exist I could cobble few servers together and have a crack.

 

Cheers,

 Graeme
