Thread: DDBMS with postgresql.

DDBMS with postgresql.

Hi,

I am looking for a solution to deal with a distributed database, using postgresql. (I know it can be done with Oracle,
butthe idea is to use an open/free alternative). 

I did quite a few searches on the web and on postgresql.org, but didn't find anything relevant, so I guess it is not
possibleout-of-the-box. 

So the question is, are there some resources out there, like tutorials, already existing applications, ... that would
allowone to do just the same (performances are not really an issue at this stage)? 

Best regards,

Serge.

Could you describe in greater detail what you're looking for? What does
"distributed" mean to you?

Hi,

What I mean is that a same database (or just some tables) is "cut" into parts, and each of those parts are located in
differentplaces. 

For instance, a table TestTable(id int8 not null, first varchar(10), second varchar(15), primary key(id)) exists on
siteA and on site B. 
Rows are inserted into site A table; different rows are inserted into site B table.
When a query is done on that table from one of those sites (like "select * from TestTable;"), the result is the list of
allrows from TestTable of site A together with all rows from TestTable of site B, as if it was a single local table. 

Another example is that a table TestTable exists on site A, a table OtherTable exists on site B, and relationship
existsbetween those tables via, let's say, foreign key. Local queries using both tables should be possible. 

This explanation may not be very clear, please tell me if that is the case.

May be you could have a look at hadoopDB?

http://hadoopdb.sourceforge.net/guide/
It can use PostgreSQL
