I'm not aware of *any* DBMS, commercial or not, which can perform meaningful multi-master replication on tables which mainly consist of text files as records. All you can get is single-master replication (which is well-understood), or some rather scary stuff which involves throwing away updates, or taking extrema or averages (even automatic 3-way merges aren't available). - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
