Hello,

I am Java Solutions Developer. I have my servers that run PostgreSQL v8.1.11 and they are quit stable. Recently i was supposed to install a Database Replication tool for the Databases. I realized that i might have to upgrade my database from v8.1 .11 to v8.4

You should be running a newer 8.1 release - it's up to 8.1.17. There are only bugfixes in that branch, no new features - so you won't have any issues just upgrading postgres.

*1) _Would there be any compatibillity issue if i do this migration at one shot_?*

Probably. 8.3 introduced some stricter type and language checking (eg stricter checks for utf8 characters) and I'm sure 8.4 did on top of that. Check the changelogs:

*5) *I want to implement a Master-Slave Replication system, and found that SLONY-I is the best that matches with PostgreSQL database system. But this is advisable in an environment where none of the master/slave(s) are having a problem of being detached from the network or frequent power failures. Here with my project this is the case. *_Can you suggest a good database replication tool that would replicate my postgreSQL databases it cud be a master-master DB replication tool as well. Not a problem_. *I have tried *RubyRep, Bucardo, *_but none of these have a stable rpm release for CentOS version of Linux Operation System_.

No idea about that one unfortunately.
