What it means is that the current stable branch, skytools_2_1_stable, is not feature complete. It's production ready and only receives bugfixes, and has been for several months. I happen to run it on several production systems on quite different contexts, and in some of them I could not use a synchronous replication system, as it must tolerate network glitches: the service still has some incoming queries when TCP/IP is down. The 30 subscribers are all keeping up nicely, and they all are also provider to the central server which federates the data. The missing features of londiste 2.1 are being stabilized in next skytools version, 3.0, of which an alpha release has been made, so that you can easily check what it's worth. Summary: yes londiste is beta, but that means it won't handle automatic DDL scripting, cascading replication and automated failover. It's stable, reliable, production quality code. I know it because I'm on call every other week and in 2009 I'm yet to receive a Skytools related alarm. I really hate it when people call me at nigth, that's one of the reasons I use PostgreSQL and Skytools :) Regards, -- dim -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
