Hello,
I need to get data migrated from a pg8.1 cluster to a pg8.2 cluster  
and was wondering how well slony will accomplish this task.
The database size is about 250GB, so doing a dump and restore will  
take longer than the maintenance window for system downtime.
I have read several posts on the postgres mailing lists that people  
recommend using slony to do major version upgrades, so I thought to  
give it a try.
One of the concerns I have is regarding the limitation that slony  
does not support large objects, is this referring to the postgres  
LargeObject type?
ie are bytea fields of significant size replicated?

Also, is there a guide to configuring Slony-I on an active system, or  
is the procedure the same (aside for the standard "backup all data  
before you begin")

thanks
