Enterprise database servers often has internal file system routines that bypass the operting system, to optimize the disk access and ensure that no data can be lost due to file system caching. At least on operating systems supporting raw devices.
It'd be interesting to hear if anyone has used postgresql for their mission-critical applications.
How does it adress these issues?
Availability
Scaleability
Secure data

Availability
Is it possible to create a mirror system to ensure that if one database goes down, there is another database waiting to kick in. Does postgresql contain this mirroring functionality?
Scaleability
If the load increases, is it possible to add new servers / add more processors and make postgresql benefit from it?
Secure data
Backup plans, what options exists for backing up the database tables. Can it be done on a running system, that is, does it support backing up a system where data is changing while backing up? Can you use tape devices? Can you use multiple tape devices to speed up the process? Does it support warm restores, as in keeping the database online while performing restores?
Performance
If I want to speed up the data transfer between the disks containing the data and the database, can I fragment the data between disks, can I use a raid setup? Does it rely on the underlying OS to save its data or does postgresql use raw devices?
You can probably solve some of the issues using the capabilities of the OS, but the data can't ofcourse be destroyed or be out of sync etc. Has anybody made any research in this subject?
Is it possible to administrate your Certificates from within Galeon? I have had a look around in the menus and I haven't found it anywhere. I run Galeon 1.0.3. It is a great feature and it do exist in Mozilla, so I wonder why they haven't implemented any administration in galeon. Or maybe they have and I'm just too blind to see it:)
I had the cradle connected to the serial port, and one day when I dropped the WorkPad into the cradle, the serial port broke. I'm using COM2 at the moment and watching my cradle suspiciously each time I put my palm into it. Does anyone know if IBM and Palm have any stock shares in motherboard companies?

Unless there's more than one mass. Example, the king announced raising the taxes to the masses.
What will the power consumption be on this baby?
Well, beside the fact that Symbian is not Linux, there are companies out there that support it.
This frenzy about hitech gizmos makes me think about the introduction in HHGTTG.

Does Postgres stem from Illustra? Just curious.
