Slony-I is an asynchronous master-slave replication system for the PostgreSQL DBMS, providing support for cascading and failover. Asynchronous means that when a database transaction has been committed to the master server, it is not yet guaranteed to be available in slaves. Cascading means that replicas can be created (and updated) via other ...
PostgreSQL includes built-in binary replication based on shipping the changes (write-ahead logs (WAL)) to replica nodes asynchronously, with the ability to run read-only queries against these replicated nodes. This allows splitting read traffic among multiple nodes efficiently.
PGD is a multi-master replication solution based on PostgreSQL. It supports CRDT column types. Novell, Inc. introduced a state-based CRDT with "loosely consistent" directory replication (NetWare Directory Services), included in NetWare 4.0 in 1995. [39] The successor product, eDirectory, delivered improvements to the replication process. [40]
In databases, and transaction processing (transaction management), snapshot isolation is a guarantee that all reads made in a transaction will see a consistent snapshot of the database (in practice it reads the last committed values that existed at the time it started), and the transaction itself will successfully commit only if no updates it has made conflict with any concurrent updates made ...
Multi-master replication can be contrasted with primary-replica replication, in which a single member of the group is designated as the "master" for a given piece of data and is the only node allowed to modify that data item. Other members wishing to modify the data item must first contact the master node.
It is written in C and extends PostgreSQL. [ 6 ] [ 7 ] TimescaleDB is a relational database [ 8 ] and supports standard SQL queries. Additional SQL functions and table structures provide support for time series data oriented towards storage, performance, and analysis facilities for data-at-scale.
Log shipping is the process of automating the backup of transaction log files on a primary (production) database server, and then restoring them onto a standby server. This technique is supported by Microsoft SQL Server, [1] 4D Server, [2] MySQL, [3] and PostgreSQL.
Conversely, PostgreSQL has applied more of the specification implementing cross-table, cross-schema, and then left room for future cross-database functionality. MySQL aliases schema with database behind the scenes, such that CREATE SCHEMA and CREATE DATABASE are analogs.
