I have been looking at different solutions to load balance/ replicate a postgres database. Has anyone done this? what did you end up using and why did you go with it as opposed to something else?
Looks like I'm settling on pgpool (http://www.pgpool.net/), but thought it would be good to run it by here first.. After setting it up to do replication/load balacing of SELECT queries, it seems to be operating as expected. It has some neat features.... one i thought would allow it to scale to a fairly large instance is where you can partition a DB across multiple servers, so that no one DB server has all the data (it can/does, just not queried), resulting in all db operations being serviced by all db servers. think of it as RAID 0 for DBs.
take care, g
