if it's only you using it, all you need to do is switch master and server so that "server" is the one box you are currently on. If both boxes produce data at the same time you need a lot of work to manage row versioning.
Hi. I'm looking for suggestions for the best solution to the following situation.
I have a database roughly 300 meg with 30 tables.
For fieldwork, a copy is running on my mac laptop where I can pull up information and add new entries.
The data analysis and further development is done back at the office on a copy running on a linux server.
The development and analysis work often generates corrections on the field data input and occasionally results in schema changes.
As a result, the situation is bi-directional, so not a master-slave replication situation and I'm not a professional dba. It is my personal research data, so I don't have to worry about other users.
My question is whether there is any recommended best practice for bi-directional syncing (schema changes would only be one direction, but data entries could flow both ways)?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
(I have also posted this question to pgsql-admin)
