PostgreSQL, Inc. Releases Open Source Replication

PostgreSQL Inc has a policy that they open source all commercially released products within 24 months of initial release. How cool are they?!

Replication has been a serious lack in Postgres. While I have yet to try out eRServer(the product name), assuming it is even half decent, it opens up Postgres as a much more solid competitor to Oracle, and (in my opinion) completely removes just about any reason to use MySQL except for very simple very speed intensive mostly read only database requirements. Apologies for the poor grammar and structure - it's late ok!)

You can read the announcement here (email archive) and here (pdf).

eRserver is "a trigger-based single-master/multi-slave asynchronous replication system" - when i have had a chance to test it out, I will be sure to post my findings here.
