Failover slots for PostgreSQL

June 8, 2020/8 Comments/in Craig's PlanetPostgreSQL /by craig.ringer

Logical 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.

September 21, 2016/39 Comments/in Craig's PlanetPostgreSQL /by craig.ringer

I’m pleased to say that Postgres-BDR is on its way to PostgreSQL 9.6, and even better, it works without a patched PostgreSQL.

The goal all along has been to […]
