Informatica, PostgreSQL How to create a hot standby with PostgreSQL 2 Settembre 2018 admin PostgreSQL is an open source RDBMS (Relational DataBase Management System), and with any databases, the need may arise to scale and provide HA (High Availability).

There also may be a need to another copy of the database contents that can be queried for long-running analytics, that are not fit to be run on the highly transaction-intensive production database. This copy could be a simple restore from the most recent backup on another machine, but the data would be outdated as soon as it is restored.
