Thread: Questions about fsync
In the context of PostgreSQL 7.4, running over Linux Suse 9.0, I have some doubts that wanted to evacuate: In which processes impacts the property fsync? Which can be the problem to use fsync in false? When use fsync = false, the effective recording of the data in disk is done for criteria of the operating system, ¿ Is exact? Considering fsync = false, checkpoint_timeout=300. It given a crash of the operating system, after normally db shutdown. At db startup, there was corruption of data and a pg_resetlog was done. It is possible to lose data changed previous to last checkpoint ? Thanks, Fabio
Can PostgreSQL do replication ? If possible could guide me in the right direction. Regards Marco Rademeyer Read our disclaimer at: http://www.picknpay.co.za/pnp/view/pnp/en/page5093?

Marco, This would probably be a good one to search for in the archives before asking, but Slony http://slony.info/ is probably the most popular replication engine for postgresql and command prompt has Mammoth Replicator which I have also heard good things about: http://commandprompt.com/products/mammothreplicator/ In addition, you could probably set up a PITR based replication solution like the one I set up for one of my clients. The general gist of the solution is doing a base backup on a regular basis to the secondary server and archiving the WAL files to a shared storage medium for replay. -- Jeff Frost, Owner <jeff@frostconsultingllc.com> Frost Consulting, LLC http://www.frostconsultingllc.com/ Phone: 650-780-7908 FAX: 650-649-1954
