I didn't know that one. There is already a section about replication. Chris, do you agree to put your article there? But AFAIK the goal of our discussion was to put _something_ into the official documentation to make it better visible. Lots of people ask for replication solutions, but up to now there is no official statement. So newcomers need to google around, figure out about lots of different projects, partly dead ones, etc... If we put an extensive replication article in the techdocs, we need to link it somehow from the main documentatino, IMHO. Otherwise it probably won't help that much.

I will work on a replication section for 8.2, similar to the XML docs I posted a few days ago. -- Bruce Momjian [EMAIL PROTECTED] EnterpriseDBhttp://www.enterprisedb.com + If your life is a hard drive, Christ can be your backup. + ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 9: In versions below 8.0, the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not match

How much information do you want to include into the main documentation? Do you want to put some more details to the techdocs?

Or do you want to leave it up to every single project to better document itself? I will post to the docs list when it is ready for review. Great. I'll be on vacation until September, 6th, so you can be assured to not get any dumb comments from me until that date. ;-) Regards Markus ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 3: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq
