| 18 | + extension. With this extension, you can turn a |
| 19 | + <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> master-slave cluster into a |
| 20 | + shared-nothing cluster with synchronous multi-master |
| 21 | + replication. Such a cluster provides <acronym>OLTP</acronym> |
| 22 | + scalability for read transactions, ensures fault tolerance and |
| 23 | + automatic node recovery, as well as |
| 24 | + enables <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> online |
