load sharing in postgres

[fromcalcutta]

Hi there,

Thanks for reviewing my writing ...
I would like to know how load sharing is implemented in postgres. Can multiple servers access same data directory at the same time ? Is using different ports bring any help ? How the fragmentation concept is implemented here. Please advice. Reference to some superb onlineguides will also do.

Thanks once again ..... Please try it out for me. Byee. Subho, from calcutta, India.

The standard distribution of PostgreSQL doesn't support any load-sharing or distributed processing yet. There are some commercial implementations, such as

http://www.cybertec.at/

and

http://www.erserver.com

And, there is a project at

http://gborg.postgresql.org/project/pgreplication/

which will create a standard replication system available with all PostgreSQL builds. -------------------------------------------
