>From the title alone, "pgCluster" sounded like the perfect choice for PostgreSQL clustering. However on their homepage they provide very little information is a rough english traslation from what it sounds like. Also: http://pgcluster.projects.postgresql.org/feature.html What happens when the load balancer or replicator goes down? Doesn't seem completly stable to me unless I'm missing something. Does anyone have experience with this? slony1 seems to cut out the balancer and replicator and leave the fallover on server crash for you to figure out. I'm liking the sound of this, however again it's tough to find decent readups on the workings of this program. I found this PDF: http://developer.postgresql.org/~wieck/slony1/Slony-I-concept.pdf Provided interesting information, however I'm wondering does anyone know a site that explains it more? Know of any more online writeups in PDF format? Most importantly, anyone have good experience with this?
