Hi,

I have a system that have constant table adds/removes are present. I want to make a replication between master and slaves but not sure which one is the best solution for that kind of a situation. Since I am new to replication stuff on postgresql I am truly lost but I know that Slony is not an answer for replications where table add/remove are present.


Best Regards.

The only way that is at all supportable right now in that regard is to use PITR:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/interactive/continuous-archiving.html

That does NOT allow you to query the backup nodes; in order to do so,
you must activate them, which amounts to failing over to the backup
node.

If your system doesn't have a stable schema, that seems like a
problem...

I think that pgpool might work for this. There are probably some
other "front end" type replication systems that would work too.
