That's good to hear. We're looking for an asyncronous, non-embedded,
master-slave replication solution. Among 7 pgsql replication
projects I've reviewed lately, the best prospects right now appear to
be rserv (testing it now) or failing that, some enhancements to
DBMirror. Is there any near consensus among the core developers on
the best open source asyncronous solution as of today?
