<blockquote cite="http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2008-05/msg00913.php"><p>Historically the project policy has been to avoid putting replication into core PostgreSQL, so as to leave room for development of competing solutions [...] However, it is becoming clear that this policy is hindering acceptance of PostgreSQL to too great an extent, compared to the benefit it offers to the add-on replication projects. Users who might consider PostgreSQL are choosing other database systems because our existing replication options are too complex to install and use for simple cases.</p></blockquote> <p class="cite">&mdash; <a href="http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2008-05/msg00913.php">Tom Lane</a></p> <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/databases">databases</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/postgresql">postgresql</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/replication">replication</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/tom-lane">tom-lane</a></p>
