You're probably noticing the effect that if there is a project that is suitable for enough cases, this can discourage there from being other similar projects. Those that have been interested in connection pools have been looking at pgpool, and finding it significantly better than any of the other options that there were out on the "information stuporhighway." It would take quite a lot of work to create an alternative to pgpool, and it is quite likely that it would be less work to "fix" misfeatures of pgpool. Ergo... This leads to not terribly much call for other systems... -- (format nil "~S@~S" "cbbrowne" "acm.org") http://www.ntlug.org/~cbbrowne/sap.html Rules of the Evil Overlord #78.
