It's still valuable, though, especially in combination with replication which offers rapid failover. It means that instead of needing to update all of your clients with a new list of servers immediately, you can wait and assume that their reconnection logic will handle things until an admin can push out an update. Particularly, with MM replication (like BDR or MMSync), it means you don't have to worry about failover on the clients at all. So it's not a major feature on its own, but it's a good part of a scale-out story. -- Josh Berkus Containers & Databases Oh My! -- Sent via pgsql-advocacy mailing list ([email protected]) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-advocacy
