re: replication... the version of eRServer that PgSQL, Inc released OSS earlier this fall is Java based, actually... only perl is for the admin scripts, and the OSS community is in the process, I believe, of getting rid of that also...

Just curious, but what version of PostgreSQL are you basing this on? When I st arted using PostgreSQL 4 years ago (approx), I wouldn't have used it for a missi on critical apps myself, but now...database corruption bug reports aren't someth ing I see...
