    Though "replication" is a single term, there are two major replication + technologies. Multi-master replication allows read/write queries to be + sent to multiple replicated computers. This capability has a + serious performance impact. + Pgcluster is the most popular such solution available for PostgreSQL. + Master-slave replication allows a single master to receive read/write + queries, with slaves able to accept only read/SELECT queries. + The most popular master-slave PostgreSQL replication solution is + + Slony. There are also commercial and hardware-based replication + solutions available.
