<H3><A name="4.21">4.21</A>) What replication solutions are available?
</H3>
<P>Though "replication" is a single term, there are several technologies
for doing replication, with advantages and disadvantages for each.</P>
<P>Master/slave replication allows a single master to receive read/write
queries, while slaves can only accept read/<SMALL>SELECT</SMALL> queries.
The most popular freely available master-slave PostgreSQL replication
solution is <A href="http://gborg.postgresql.org/project/slony1/projdisplay.php">
queries, while slaves can only accept read/<SMALL>SELECT</SMALL>
queries. The most popular freely available master-slave PostgreSQL
replication solution is <A
href="http://gborg.postgresql.org/project/slony1/projdisplay.php">
Slony-I</A>.</P>
<P>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. <A href="http://pgfoundry.org/projects/pgcluster/">Pgcluster</a>
is the most popular such solution freely available for PostgreSQL.</P>

<P>There are also commercial and hardware-based replication solutions
available supporting a variety of replication models.</P>
