Does the system running pgpool have to be permanently running or can it be rebooted without deranging open but quiescent ODBC connections? If it /can/ be rebooted can it also be transferred from one machine to another, e.g. by changing the location of the IP alias? If it /can't/ be rebooted without breaking ODBC how does one prevent this from being a single point of failure? -- Mark Morgan Lloyd markMLl .AT. telemetry.co .DOT. uk [Opinions above are the author's, not those of his employers or colleagues]
