Hello,

I need to implement HA for the appliance that is sold to the customer - our
application has no DBA and must be very stable and self recoverable.

We are running PostgreSQL 8.4.

Is the warm standby a good solution for us?

Thank you for all the suggestions.

Helen

It can work, but hands free administration will be a lot easier with
9.0 SR -- perhaps enough so to justify looking at an upgrade. If you
are stuck on 8.4, take a look at some helper tools, such as skype's
walmgr.

Re: Advice on HA option

Thank you, I will look at skype's walmgr.

Also could you explain what makes it "hands free administration" 9.0?
Is the shipping of the wal file from the master to HA instance automated ?
Any error checking /self recovery?

thank you much for the suggestion.
