I think Pgpool-II users well understand the effect of replication lagging because I've never heard complains like "hey, why my query result is sometimes outdated?" Moreover Pgpool-II provides many load balancing features depending on user's needs. For example users can: - just turn off load balancing - turn off load balancing only for specific application name - turn off load balancing only for specific database - turn off load balancing if current transaction includes write query Best reagards, -- Tatsuo Ishii SRA OSS LLC English: http://www.sraoss.co.jp/index_en/ Japanese:http://www.sraoss.co.jp |
