Bruce Momjian b24a0293cc Attached is a patch that provides *VERY* limited support for multiple
slave
servers.  I haven't tested it very well, so use at your own risk (and I
recommend against using it in production).

Basically, I have a central database server that has 4 summary tables
inside
it replicated to a remote slave (these database tables are for my mail
server
authentication, so these are replicated to another server tuned for many
connections, and so I don't have postgres connections opened straight to
my
back-end database server).

Unfortunately, I also wanted to implement a replication database server
for
hot-backups.  I realized, too late, that the replication process is
pretty
greedy and will try to replicate all tables marked as a
"MasterAddTable".

To make a long story, I made a patch to RServ.pm and Replicate that
allows you
to specify, on the command line, a list of tables that you want to
replicate...it'll ignore all others.

I haven't finished, since this has to be integrated with CleanLog for
instance, but this should (and does) suffice for the moment.

I have yet to test it with two slaves, but at least my mail server
replication
database now works (it was failing every time it tried to replicate, for
a
variety of reasons).

Anyone have any suggestions on how to improve on this?  (or, if someone
more
familiar with this code wants to take the ball and run with it, you're
welcome to).

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================
  
This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains several language
bindings, including C, Perl, Python, and Tcl, as well as a JDBC
driver.

The ODBC and C++ interfaces have been moved to the PostgreSQL Projects
Web Site at http://gborg.postgresql.org for separate maintenance.

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the
file HISTORY.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
ftp://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/.  For more information look at our web
site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
