Now back to the original thread:
Knowing the number of forks/projects based on Postgres, maintaining a
list on a wiki list the one below is just easier for everybody:
http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Replication,_Clustering,_and_Connection_Pooling
That one doesn't even list PostgreSQL-XC.
Then update the page? It is a wiki.
For how man years has it been around now...
Can't even remember any more.
Instead it lists Postgres-R, which has been in koma for how long now...
Can't even remember any more.
Nope, it is actively developed and sponsored by Translattice.
Perhaps this list is not completely up-to-date,
To call that an understatement would be an euphemism.
It's simply misleading. And misleading potential users in search of
solutions for their needs is *bad* for the PostgreSQL project.
Why are you arguing about this instead of just fixing it?
Guys, are you really not aware to *that* point how badly you shoot
yourself (and the PostgreSQL project as a whole) in the foot with that
single - wrong - phrase in the "official" documentation:
"PostgreSQL does not offer this type of replication"
Reading that phrase, the average O***** DBA looking for a cheaper
replacement will stop considering PostgreSQL and that's it. You're out
of business. They won't look any further.
I agree.
"PostgreSQL itself does not provide this as a built-in functionality at
the current stage, but there is an open-source "fork" freely available
under the same license as PostgreSQL that does, for details read:
http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Postgres-XC";
Is that really too much work? Heck, give me write-authority on the
documentation and I'll do it for you then. You've already wasted *way*
Submit a patch. Is that so hard? I don't understand why you are up in
arms about this.
Sincerely,
Joshua D. Drake
