It is a collection +of tightly coupled database components which can be installed on more than one +system or virtual machine. + +Write-scalable means Postgres-XL can be configured with as many database +servers as you want and handle many more writes (updating SQL statements) than +a single standalone database server could otherwise do. You can have more than +one database server that provides a single database view. Any database update +from any database server is immediately visible to any other transactions +running on different servers. Transparent means you do not necessarily need +to worry about how your data is stored in more than one database servers +internally. + +WWW: http://www.postgres-xl.org/ |
