I was initially interested in this myself, but after a long discussion on "quorum commit" it was decided to go with "first past post". That is easier to manage, requires one less parameter, performs better and doesn't really add that much additional confidence. It was also discussed that we would have a plugin API, but I'm less sure about that now. Perhaps we can add that option in the future, but its not high on my list of things for this release. -- Simon Riggs http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/books/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Training and Services -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
