[pgpool-general: 2272] Re: Query distribution between replicated servers

[Piotr Pawłowski]

Thank you for clarification.
I configured pgPool with master_slave_mode and load_balance_mode enabled. To force read queries from slave server and write queries from master one, I added option backedn_weight with value 1 for slave and 0 for master.
Although wright now I achieved my goal, I am not quite sure if this is correct configuration or I just found workaround.
Can you confirm above config or show better way for solving my issue with pgPool?
Thanks in advance.

Regards
Piotr

Yes, you can.

master_slave_mode = on
master_slave_sub_mode = 'slony'
