Hi,
I hope this email finds you well. I am reaching out to seek clarification on a matter regarding the configuration of a cluster in a hybrid environment.
Specifically, I am wondering whether we require a PostgreSQL license for setting up a cluster in such an environment. Could you kindly provide some guidance or clarification on this matter?
Your expertise and insights on this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your assistance.
Looking forward to your prompt response.
Best regards,
Prasanna

Could you kindly > provide some guidance or clarification on this matter? Yes, you require a license. However, luckily for you, the license is provided for any purpose, without fee, and without a written agreement. The COPYRIGHT file in the source distribution contains the details. You can use the software standalone or in cluster configuration, as you see fit. In short, you don't need to worry about it. However, this doesn't necessarily apply to other software packages derived from PostgreSQL itself, or those that work in conjunction with it, such as Postgres extensions, admin interfaces, GUIs, monitoring packages, etc. You'll have to seek clarification on each such software package that you intend to use. -- Álvaro Herrera 48°01'N 7°57'E — https://www.EnterpriseDB.com/ "I dream about dreams about dreams", sang the nightingale under the pale moon (Sandman)
