pgpool is a connection server for PostgreSQL. pgpool runs between
|
||
|
|
PostgreSQL's clients(front ends) and servers(back ends). A PostgreSQL
|
||
|
|
client can connect to pgpool as if it were a standard PostgreSQL
|
||
|
|
server.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
pgpool caches the connection to PostgreSQL server to reduce the
|
||
|
|
overhead to establish the connection to it. Also, pgpool could use
|
||
|
|
two PostgreSQL servers for fail over. If the first server goes down,
|
||
|
|
pgpool will automatically switch to the secondary server. Moreover,
|
||
|
|
pgpool supports scheduled switch over.
