Preface

Since the first edition of PostgreSQL Replication many new technologies have emerged or improved. In the PostgreSQL community, countless people around the globe have been working on important techniques and technologies to make PostgreSQL even more useful and more powerful.

To make sure that readers can enjoy all those new features and powerful tools, I have decided to write a second, improved edition of PostgreSQL Replication. Due to the success of the first edition, the hope is to make this one even more useful to administrators and developers alike around the globe.

All the important new developments have been covered and most chapters have been reworked to make them easier to understand, more complete and absolutely up to date.

I hope that all of you can enjoy this book and benefit from it.
