Other interesting replication projects

There is a wide perception that since PostgreSQL hasn't ever shipped with a complete replication solution (even the Streaming Replication in 9.0 requires some external code support), its replication options are therefore weak. The opposite is true—because the development community isn't focused on a single replication solution. There are actually so many viable options that just describing them all is a chore.

But most of them have a very specific type of replication problem than they solve better than any of the other alternatives.

• Mammoth Replicator: Rather than derive statement changes from triggers, Mammoth instead modifies the PostgreSQL source code to generate them. The need for a customized PostgreSQL makes it inappropriate for some uses. If you need statement replication but can't afford the overhead...
