Once you issue commit, you have know knowledge if the commit is durable, (or even posibly seen by somoene else even) until you get the acknowledgement of the commit. That's already a posibility with a single machine databse. Adding replication in it, just increases the perioud that window exists for (and the possiblity of things making something "Bad" hit that window). a. -- Aidan Van Dyk Create like a god, [email protected] command like a king, http://www.highrise.ca/ work like a slave. -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list ([email protected]) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
