SilentBob4 writes "The PostgreSQL database project has recently released Version 8.0, which was received with quite some fanfare, mostly due to its first-ever Windows port. Mad Penguin talked with Josh Berkus, one of the core team members, to find out how 8.0 has fared since its official release on January 17, 2005. Full interview."

    All I now need is the Postgres-R (replication) stuff to work out of the box (like it does for mysql).

    Look into Slony. It's an addon project, but replication for PostgreSQL will always be an addon so that it works across multiple backend versions.

    It's fairly straight forward to setup a master/slave scenario, and PgAdmin is currently working on GUI tools for managing it.
