I thought slony is replicating data, not queries... what on the master is "UPDATE tablename SET x = x + 1" will translate to "UPDATE tablename SET x = new_value" on the slave, where new_value equals that x + 1. That's why slony is working well even if you do "UPDATE tablename SET x = now()". Cheers, Csaba.
