The Postgres Implementation of Multi-Version Concurrency Control has many technical advantages and strengths. However, if you are deploying a large database, with a heavy write update, insert and delete workload, the concepts around Transaction wrap around are very important to understand — so proper design, monitoring, and administration decisions can be made. To explore this […]
Failover slots for PostgreSQL
/8 Comments/in Craig's PlanetPostgreSQL /by craig.ringerLogical decoding and logical replication is getting more attention in the PostgreSQL world. This means we need it working well alongside production HA systems – and it turns out there’s a problem there. Replication slots are not themselves synced to physical replicas so you can’t continue to use a slot after a master failure results […]
