I asked a while back, is anyone managing this project? It has scripts that just
plain don't work.

It works. Not like a charm, but it works. Also, it's a nightmare to setup.

Re: RServ replication
Hi all,

Does anyone want to write a setup guide for this (RServ), to go into the
"Installation Guides" section on techdocs.postgresql.org?

:-)

Regards and best wishes,

Justin Clift

For instance, (in ApplySnapshot.in) the line:

my $conn = Pg::connectdb(sinfo);    

Should be:

my $conn = Pg::connectdb($sinfo);    

There are a lot of these errors. The snapshot file parameter is not used
in all the scripts, the server string is always zero, and so on. It
really is a mess.

The trigger function and the internal stuff works well enough.

I have actually got the "Replacate" script working but I need to
replicatate to multiple servers. I was contemplating using
"PrepareSnapshot" followed by multiple "ApllySnapshot" calls.

I am spending a few hours rewriting "RServ.pm" in C++ to make a daemon
which will automatically replicate out to multiple servers. (I can't
stand perl)
