Re: PUGS talk

[Dirk Jagdmann <doj(at)cubic(dot)org>]

pg_trompe is a multi-master asynchronous replication system for 
PostgreSQL. It was designed to provide a simple mechanism to share data 
between multiple server installations in an application using replicated 
table data and large objects. It is implemented as a set of stored 
procedures and triggers on every database instance, written in pl/pgsql 
and a perl program to transmit data between servers. Some of the 
difficulties of multi-master replication have been solved by convention, 
while others are intentionally ignored.

The talk gives an overview of the application and situation which led to 
the development of pg_trompe, then discusses my solution to the 
replication problem. I introduce the pl/pgsql and perl code and will 
answer any questions on this project or other interesting topics.
