Sample text

The first distinction we can make is whether to replicate synchronously or asynchronously. What does this mean? Let's assume we have two servers and we want to replicate data from one server (the master) to the second server (the slave). The following diagram illustrates the concept of synchronous and asynchronous replication: We can use a simple transaction like the one shown in the following: BEGIN; INSERT INTO foo VALUES ('bar'); COMMIT; In the case of asynchronous replication, the data can be replicated after the transaction has been committed on the master.

How PostgreSQL writes data PostgreSQL replication is all about writing data. Therefore, the way PostgreSQL writes a chunk of data internally is highly relevant and directly connected to replication and replication concepts. In this section, we will dig into writes. [ 21 ] Understanding the PostgreSQL Transaction Log The PostgreSQL disk layout One of the first things we want to take a look at in this chapter is the PostgreSQL disk layout. Knowing about the disk layout can be very helpful when inspecting an existing setup, and it can be helpful when designing an efficient, high-performance installation.

This leaves us with the second option, which is storing data redundantly. Storing a set of data twice, or even more often, is not too uncommon, and it's actually a good way to approach the problem. The following diagram shows how this can be done: As you can see, we have two clusters in this scenario. When a query comes in, the system has to decide which data can be found on which node. For cases where the name is queried, we have (for the sake of simplicity) simply split the data into half alphabetically.
