June 2005 Linux Journal has an article, "Database Replication with Slony-I", on p. 52:
"Whether you need multiple instances of our database for high availability, backup or for a no-downtime migration to a new version, this versatile tool will keep all of them in sync."
Russ says he's working on the issue of downtime, so I can live with it even though it also inconveniences me. Downtime for me is sometime between 08:00 and 09:00, just when I'm feeling sharp. If I'm in time into my office, I use Firefox to open multiple tabs on the games I have waiting to play, then work through my moves and make them before uploading them when RHP is back online. Tabs are a nice feature with Firefox, and enable me to go back and double check my moves before posting them.
Okay, I don't have the benefit of the analyse board, but not ALL games need that.
Originally posted by foil Need vs. cost ... RHP uptime is better than 95% with the nightly maintenance . I doubt people aren't subscribing because of the downtime.
it's free (i guess, LJ gave a whole article to it) ...
downtime is 23:05 here, that's the peak chess hour 🙂 ...
It's a bloody pain. Not only has RHP downtime ramped out from 12-15 mins to some 40-45 mins, but it is also right on 1800 hrs NZST. That's just about 30 mins into my session and it's hugely annoying.
I know the site should have out grown this kind of downtime and it does need addressing. It is a problem that can only get worse with the enormous amount of data we are now accumulating, so yes, the sooner it is addressed, the better.
high availability databases (no 2305 PDT downtime)
