Re: [GENERAL] Postgres High Availablity Solution needed for hot-standby and load balancing

2007-12-02 Thread Ragnar Heil
Hi Usama
 
yes, currently I am reading a brochure about Continuent uni/cluster for
PostgreSQL. Looks quite interesting.

Another product sounds promising: Cybercluster from www.postgres.at
English Product Description:
http://www.postgresql.at/picts/download/dokumentation/documentation_cybe
rcluster.pdf

Anyone has made experiences with it?


thanks
Ragnar

Hi

our customer has got the following requirements:

Req1) Master master replication supported, not only
master / slave 
replication with only the master being writable. If you
do have multiple
slave systems they are only useful from a backup and
standby
perspective.  Our Application must have a db-connection
it can write to.

Req2) Replication of schema should also be possible, not
only data

Req3) Not only a hot-standby-solution is needed. Load
Balancing is
wanted for the future.


Currently I am looking at EnterpriseDB but it seems that
they dont 
support multiple master-replication

best regards

[GENERAL] Fault Tolerance & Master-master-Replication Solution needed

2007-11-30 Thread Ragnar Heil

Hi,

I am searching for a  Fault Tolerance & Master-master-Replication
Solution which fulfills these requirements

Req1) Master master replication supported, not only master / slave
replication with only the master being
writable. If you do have multiple slave systems they are only useful
from a backup and standby perspective.
Ad Mo must have a db-connection it can write to.
Req2) A plan is needed for deploying changes on the database structure.
What needs to be done to apply a
change saved into a live db environment?
Req3) Not only a warm-standby-solution is needed which is not scalable.
Load Balancing is wanted for the
future.

Do you have experience with Cybercluster or Continuent uni/cluster?
Sounds very promising.


best regards
Ragnar
