Thread: Replication

I am running Postgresql at my office and I am considering running it on the
net as well. My ISP only has MYSQL so I would have to set up my own
postgresql server on my user account. I have a few questions:

-Can I use replication over ADSL connection?
-Do I have to replicate the whole database or can I replicate only certain
tables?
-Can I use something like rsync to do that for me?
-Would it be possible to replicate tables from MYSQL database to my
Postgresql?

Thank you very much for any advise.

If you use PHP there then it is probably neccessery to recompile PHP
with --enable-pgsql.

If it's a Unix/Linux box you can dump your local db and ssh to the
remote machine, running psql with i/o-redirection from the local
machine. ssh crypts and can compress on the fly.

You then don't need to open the postgres tcp-port to the world because
you run psql on the remote machine.
