Hi,

We would like use Postgresql as our database. For high availability is it
possible to cluster DB in Postgresql. Appreciate if you can let me know how
this can be achieved.

Else is there any other way to achieve High Availability in POstgresql as
this is mission critical system.



Thanks

My recommendation for HA PostgreSQL is to use two servers with one of
those nifty HA options, and let the postmaster on the taking-over
machine recover the database just like after a crash. Also, you'll
be wanting to use slony (www.slony.info).

If you're asking whether Postgres has something akin to Oracle's RAC,
the answer is "not yet".
