What's with Slony-I support in pgAdmin?
Is someone working on it?
Absolutely. We (well, Andreas anyway) has to give a presentation of it
to a large usergroup at the end of October, so it's definitely being
worked on. We've spent a fair bit on plane tickets etc. so this one's on
a real deadline!
I want to present it working, and have it released working in V1.4
(concurrent with pgsql 8.1), so that's the time frame.
When I use right-click New Object->Slony-I Cluster,
window appears, but on the bottom there is string:
"Slony-I creation scripts not available; only joining possible."
See Options. It used to be located over the path, has its setting now.
For example:
1. Create code for creating, deleting and managing clusters.
2. -''- -''- nodes.
3. -''- -''- sets, adding tables and sequences.
4. etc.
1), 2), 3) is working, as well as creating pgsql objects
replication-aware, i.e. using Slony-I.
4) is e.g. failover, which has to be coded yet, and some more. These
should cover the error-prone cases, and should receive a fair amount
review because taken from the slony mailing list quite a lot may go
wrong with that; lot of testing required.
I'd like to start playing a little with code.
If I start, I hope I won't get into someone's area,
so if someone is working at Slony support,
please let me know, and tell what's left to play with.
If you want to help, you can test, test, test.
And one last question.
There is no Slony documentation in pgAdmin, isn't?
No. That should be failry easy to add assuming the Slony docs have the
make htmlhelp target that pg does. I doubt Andreas has done anything on
that if you want to look at it.
Unfortunately we'd need to write our own doc, since things are handled a
bit more abstract than with slonik. But we certainly should include the
whole slony doc as subtree in the main pgAdmin doc.
I don't know if anybody has ever tested to generate htmlhelp from slony,
whould be a good start to see if it works and can be compiled to a .CHM
with M$'s htmlhelp compiler, which would be a good start for further
integration.
Regards,
Andreas
