= SkyTools - tools for PostgreSQL =
This is a package of tools in use in Skype for replication and
failover. Also it includes a generic queuing mechanism PgQ and
utility library for Python scripts.
== Overview ==
It contains following tools:
=== PgQ ===
This is the queue machanism we use. Consists of PL/pgsql, and C code
in database, with Python framework on top of it. It is based on
snapshot based event handling ideas from Slony-I, written for general
usage.
Features:
- There can be several queues in database.
- There can be several producers than can insert into any queue.
- There can be several consumers on one queue and all consumers see
all events.
Documentation:
- PgQ admin tool (pgqadm) usage: doc/pgq-admin.txt
- PgQ SQL API overview: doc/pgq-sql.txt
- PgQ SQL reference: http://skytools.projects.postgresql.org/pgq/
=== Londiste ===
Replication tool written in Python, using PgQ as event transport.
Features:
- Tables can be added one-by-one into set.
- Initial COPY for one table does not block event replay for other
tables.
