Replication configuration changes in PostgreSQL 12

October 7, 2019 /0 Comments/in Ian's PlanetPostgreSQL, repmgr /by Ian Barwick

Historically, PostgreSQL’s replication configuration has been managed via a configuration parameters stored in a dedicated configuration file, recovery.conf, which has been present in PostgreSQL since the introduction of archive recovery in PostgreSQL 8.0. One of the major changes in PostgreSQL 12, co-authored by 2ndQuadrant is the replacement of recovery.conf and the conversion of recovery.conf parameters […]

repmgr 3.3

January 26, 2017 /0 Comments/in Ian's PlanetPostgreSQL /by Ian Barwick

repmgr 3.3 introduces a number of additional options for setting up and managing replication clusters, with particular emphasis on cascading replication support. These changes will also make it easier to set up complex clusters using provisioning scripts.

June 22, 2016 /0 Comments/in Ian's PlanetPostgreSQL /by Ian Barwick

Greetings, honourable reader. My name is Barwick of the 2ndQuadrant Company. With the onset of the Plum Rain, in my humble estimation it has become hot and humid recently. I trust all is well in your exalted undertakings? No, I haven’t flipped a bit – the above is actually pretty much how a Japanese business […]

Japan PostgreSQL Conference 2014

December 11, 2014 /0 Comments/in Ian's PlanetPostgreSQL /by Ian Barwick

Japan has been an early and vigorous adopter of PostgreSQL (back in 2006, when PostgreSQL was still emerging from obscurity in the western hemisphere, I noted that in Tokyo bookstores, PostgreSQL books outweighed MySQL ones by about 5:3), and it’s no surprise that by nationality, only the USA and Germany have more committers.
