Our schemas don't change after creation, but I am guessing that adding a schema to the database falls under the definition of "schema changes." > > Am I wrong about that limitation of Slony-I, and if not does anyone here have a recommendation for a replication solution that would work for my situation? You are wrong. It means you cannot simply alter a replicated table on the origin and have it altered automatically on the replica (but you can do it with some manual labour). If you want to replicate a new set of tables, you can do that easily. I imagine you've already been flamed to death about the one-schema-per-user bit so I won't say anything about that. -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ PostgreSQL Replication, Consulting, Custom Development, 24x7 support -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin
