| Re: [PLUG] Weigh in: what PostgreSQL talk would you like to hear? |
I don't speak up much, but there are topics here that are of interest to me. To be selfish, I'd love to hear about PostgreSQL in HA and High Performance configurations. I know about streaming replication (and am using it) but I'm not comfortable with my knowledge of automated fail-over, partitioning strategies, backups, and the various postgres contrib services (pgpool, pgbouncer, etc) and how to apply them. I'd love to hear more about PG in those kinds of configuration.
