Hi All I'm wondering if anyone can share any insights or experience with temporary versions of databases, allowing "disconnected editing" during Internet downtime.
The use-case is that I run a Postgres database, hosted in the UK, but used by scientists in several other countries - Ecuador, Vietnam, Kenya and Indonesia. Unfortunately the connectivity between the UK and these countries is flaky at best - perhaps usable 70% of the time. This means a lot of wasted time for technicians and scientists working at remote locations. I could potentially run a database in each of these countries and provide 100% uptime, obviously raising the issue of version conflicts that would require hand-merging. Do people think this is feasible, or a total non-starter? Performance is not an issue. Development time is :) Cheers Will T -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
