Hi,
I've got a question about quite a strange configuration.
I was asked if we can have one storage, with one data directory where one postgresql instance writes data, and many other instances read those.
Is that possible without any replication and copying data?
They've got some quiteÂnice andÂhuge storage and it would be nice to use it from many different machines running postgreses.
Another option is Oracle which can do that. Replicating data to another directory is not an option, not for this amount of data and the way of loading/using data they need.
I've always done that using replication to different machines and running there Postgres on each, I've never heard of this kind of using Postgres. That's why I think this is "strange".
regards
Szymon
