Replication options

I am fairly news to Postgres, but have spent many years using Oracle (15) and MySQL(5).

Whilst I find Postgres very easy to ‘pickup’, the number of replication options are puzzling.

There are a number of replication options available to Postgres. Can anyone on this list advise suitable methods (ie Replicator, dbexperts, GBORG etc) for MASTER-MASTER and MASTER-SLAVE(Multiple) replication.

Many thanx

Simon

None.  Postgres-R is intended to offer it, but it requires work
still.

All the rest, except for contrib/rserv, which does only one slave.  I
have used the erserver on gborg and none of the rest, so I cannot
comment on their relative merits.
