Thanks Tom!
The PostgreSQL 8.4 is coming from the default latest CentOS 6.3 updates
repository which makes it an easy install and upgrade later (yum install
postgresql-server). I'll try installing/upgrading my test setup using
http://yum.postgresql.org repository. I'm also going to need to find out
what migrating to a newer version will affect with the current production
data.
Andrew
some newer release branch where you can make use of streaming
replication? Aside from the benefits of that, 8.4 will be out of
support next year, so setting up new servers with that release series
seems pretty short-sighted.
I realize that dealing with a version upgrade might not be their highest
priority right now, but they're going to have to deal with it before too
long, and doing so now would put them in position to have a far better
replication solution than what you're describing.

I'm new here and have a question. I'm working on a replacement PostgreSQL
8.4 setup for a small company. They now have a Primary postgres server
and8.4 setup for a small company. They now have a Primary postgres server
2 secondaries which are replicated using Slony-I, however the consulting
company that set it up is afraid to failover and keeping Slony running is
taking lots of resources.
It sounds like you're trying to keep them on 8.4. Why not move them tocompany that set it up is afraid to failover and keeping Slony running is
taking lots of resources.
