Can you please explain or provide a pointer for more information? We have recently started to use sync replication over a line with >80ms latency. It works for small transactions with a relatively low transaction rate. Avoid transactions using NOTIFY. Those acquire an exclusive lock during commit that is released only when the remote host has also done its commit. So, only one such transaction can be committing at time. Async replication works just fine. Torsten -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
