Yes. I have used it. > I thought Postgresql requires shared memory amongst the > processes. Is that not true on the Windows platform? Oh it does. Makes no change. Microsoft Cluster Service is an active/passive failover clustering solutino. PostgreSQL will only be *active* on one node at a time. So shared memory stuff is not affected in any way. (You can make it actiev/active by running two separate postgresql installations on the two nodes, with failover-with-lower-performance, but it's not a load-sharing cluster solution of any time) //Magnus ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
