Bucardo: what it does well
- Supports multi-source and multi-target replication
- Offers standard or per-table custom conflict handling
- Named syncs select which tables to copy
- Free and open source under a BSD license
What to know first
- Does not replicate DDL or schema changes
- Does not run natively on Windows
- Configuration database needs PL/pgSQL and PL/PerlU
- Truncate replication fully works only for pushdelta syncs
