Re: What is the Best Postgresql Load Balancing Solution available ?

I have a web application that is accessed by a large number of users.
My application is written in PHP and uses postgres. Apache is our web server.
The performance of my application drops down when a large numbers of users connects at the same time. I need to have a better response time ! That's why i need to load balance the web requests and the database.

Regards,
Najib.

performance problems are coming from, then someone could give you a better
answer!

There isn't one tool that is the best, all three work very good based
on where they are used and what they are used for.

TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings

Did you try them or have any experience with them. I need them for load
balancing my database and thus making the queries faster. I have a web
application heavely using a postgres database. Hundreds of users can connect
at the same time to my web application.

Thanks in advance for any help.
