Looks exciting. But then I notice: "Slony-I does not automatically
replicate changes to large objects (BLOBS)." [1]

Does that still apply?

It's doable for us to VACUUM FULL and add a notice to our website
saying, "you can't upload files for the next two hours." Maybe that's
a better idea?

Enjoy life,
