I am under impression that what you are trying to do is merging two
Primary databases. If that is what you actually want then Streaming
Replication is not going to work for you. Maybe you should look for
some Multi-master replication tool, which is probably the way to go if
you want to mix PostgreSQL and EDB Advanced Server anyway.
