Re: High availability and load balancing ...

Thanks Venkata.

I am considering latest version now i.e. 9.4 or 9.5 on Linux 6.
Is there any difference in setup from 9.1 to 9.5?

Thanks & Regards,
Sunil N Shinde

I need to do the setup for High availability function.
Also want to implement load balancing for 02 nodes.

You will have to build streaming replication which was introduced in PostgreSQL-9.0

I think PGPool will be require for that. Can I use PGPool without cost.

pgpool-II is an open source tool which can be used for connection pooling and load balancing.

Can I get the basic steps to do this setup?

Database -- Postgresql 9.1
OS -- Linux 6

Below is the link which explains the basic steps to setup "streaming replication"

By the way, version 9.1 is very old and will reach end-of-life soon. You are 4 major versions behind, did you consider using latest version ?
