Well, there are two "replication things" going on:
1. The eRserv Java server software is already available on gBorg.
It isn't likely to go into the software distribution any time soon because of its dependence on Java. It really
isan extra add-on.
2. Jan Wieck's work on SLONY-1
Many are keen to see the code, but it's not out yet. And it is not self-evident that it will necessarily be
readyto release in conjunction with 7.5 (Not to say it _can't_ happen, but just that we'll see the code when we
seeit...)
It is planned to be implemented in C, so it would presumably be more suitable for inclusion in the main code
thaneRserv. But it stands as "hope," and not certainty.
And none of this is ...
3. PITR (Point In Time Recovery).
Where a characteristic "hope" would be to archive WAL files and use them to bring a failed DB up to date.
Jan has plans to do something similar but _much_ less obscure/opaque with SLONY-1. We'll see what happens...
Another fairly important item not mentioned: Nested Transactions.
