store path(7)
NAME
STORE PATH - Configure Slony-I node connection
SYNOPSIS
STORE PATH (options);
DESCRIPTION
Configures how the replication daemon of one node connects to the
database of another node. If the replication system is supposed to use
a special backbone network segment, this is the place to user the special IP addresses or hostnames. An existing configuration can be overwritten.
The conninfo string must contain all information to connect to the
database as the replication superuser. The names 'server' or 'client'
have nothing to do with the particular role of a node within the cluster configuration. It should be simply viewed as 'the server' has the
message or data that 'the client is supposed to get.' For a simple 2
node setup, paths into both directions must be configured.
It does not do any harm to configure path information from every node to every other node (full cross product). The connections are not established unless they are required to actually transfer events or confirmations because of listen entries or data because of subscriptions.
- SERVER = ival
- Node ID of the database to connect to.
- CLIENT = ival
- Node ID of the replication daemon connecting.
- CONNINFO = string
- PQconnectdb() argument to establish the connection.
- CONNRETRY = ival
- Number of seconds to wait before another attempt to connect is made in case the server is unavailable. Default is 10.
- This uses "schemadocstorepath( integer, integer, text, integer )" [not available as a man page].
EXAMPLE
- STORE PATH ( SERVER = 1, CLIENT = 2,
- CONNINFO = 'dbname=testdb host=server1 user=slony'
- );
LOCKING BEHAVIOUR
No application-visible locking should take place.
