Desperate help needed for Replication
I am trying to perform what I best understand as Multi-master asynchronous replication for postgres 7.3.3 servers. After researching, I tried the pgReplication project (and made the simple modification as listed in their mailing lists), but was not able to build the environment needed for Redhat 7.3.
My question is: is anyone doing this type of replication, and if you are not using pgReplicate, then what are you using?
Thank you,

1) I think the best shot should be eRServ
http://gborg.postgresql.org/project/erserver/projdisplay.php
2) Upgrade your DB server to 7.3.4. Your actual version has a serious bug
which can cause crashes of the system.

Isnt the erserv project limited to Read-only slave stations?
When I looked at it, it did not seem to indicate that I could make an update on any of the postgres servers and have that update replicated to all others. It looked as though I could only update at 1 server.

Yes, just saw that about the multi-master. It's in the feature request list.
Anyway, it's the best replication I've got my hands on. Else, you might have
to buy some commercial Replication aplicaction, but I don't know which would
be suitable for you're needs.

TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster

It most certainly would not. Erserver is good for exactly one thing
(and some people think it isn't good at this): single-master,
possibly-multi-slave asynchronous replication. Given its current
design, it will _never_ be able to do multi-master replication unless
it is "data merge" sort of stuff (e.g. table1 and table 2 on db1;
table 3 and table 4 on db2; and table1, table 2, table3, and table4
on db3).

That's right. At the moment, AFAIK, nobody can offer what you want,
although I have heard suggestions otherwise. The distance that IK
travels is limited :-/
