CLUSTER NAME - preamble - identifying Slony-I cluster
Contents
Description
Must be the very first statement in every slonik script. It defines the namespace in which all Slony-I
specific functions, procedures, tables and sequences are defined. The namespace name is built by prefix‐
ing the given string literal with an underscore. This namespace will be identical in all databases that
participate in the same replication group.
No user objects are supposed to live in this namespace, and the namespace is not allowed to exist prior
to adding a database to the replication system. Thus, if you add a new node using pg_dump-s on a data‐
base that is already in the cluster of replicated databases, you will need to drop the namespace via the
SQL command DROPSCHEMA_testclusterCASCADE; .
