I'll run a java webapp running in tomcat connected to postgres via jdbc. BTW, why the access method should be important ? I mean, my main question is should pg_xlog be located on a different EBS than data ? My doubt is really about logical vs physical disk, since i think EBS is logical

I found today that postgres EnterpriseDB supports Amazon EC2. On a shoestring budget EnterpriseDB is just as much an option as Oracle ;-( So, question is what makes EnterpriseDB more suitable for the cloud than plain vanilla postgreSQL? Anyone? With best regards. Sanjay. On Tue, Mar 3, 2009
