I didn't know that one. There is already a section about replication. Chris, do you agree to put your article there? But AFAIK the goal of our discussion was to put _something_ into the official documentation to make it better visible. Lots of people ask for replication solutions, but up to now there is no official statement. So newcomers need to google around, figure out about lots of different projects, partly dead ones, etc... If we put an extensive replication article in the techdocs, we need to link it somehow from the main documentatino, IMHO. Otherwise it probably won't help that much. Regards Markus

I will work on a replication section for 8.2, similar to the XML docs I posted a few days ago. -- Bruce Momjian bruce@momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com + If your life is a hard drive, Christ can be your backup. +

How much information do you want to include into the main documentation? Do you want to put some more details to the techdocs?

I will post to the docs list when it is ready for review. -- Bruce Momjian bruce@momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com + If your life is a hard drive, Christ can be your backup. +

I'll be on vacation until September, 6th, so you can be assured to not get any dumb comments from me until that date. ;-) Regards Markus
