The major IRC channel is #postgresql on Freenode (irc.freenode.net).
To connect you can use the Unix program irc -c '#postgresql' "$USER"
irc.freenode.net or use any other IRC clients. A Spanish one also

PostgreSQL uses OIDs to link its internal system tables together.
To uniquely number columns in user tables, it is best to use SERIAL
To uniquely number rows in user tables, it is best to use SERIAL
rather than OIDs because SERIAL sequences are unique only within a

available for storing eight-byte sequence values.

Multi-master replication allows read/write queries to be sent to
multiple replicated computers. This capability also has a severe
impact on performance due to the need to synchronize changes between
servers. Pgcluster is the most popular such solution freely available
servers. PGCluster is the most popular such solution freely available
for PostgreSQL.
There are also commercial and hardware-based replication solutions
