Pleased as I am to hear accounts of Slony being used successfully to
solve the upgrade problem -- it was one of our design goals in the
early discussions at Afilias -- I have to confess that if you find
Postgres administration arcane, Slony administration is going to seem
very like interpreting runes.

I have heard that Londiste (in the skytools package) can also do this,
and it is intended to be easier to administer. I have no personal
experience trying it.
