Has anyone investigated metilinx as an alternative
replication solution?
Anything good, bad, indifferent about the company
and product (besides not being open source and not
pg specific) would be helpful.

From this whitepaper:

http://www.metilinx.com/images/DB_Whitepaper.pdf

which is the most detailed (clear throat) technical information I was
able to find through Google, I conclude that the whole thing acts as a
db proxy that duplicates database traffic on the SQL statement level.
The client applications connect via OLEDB or ODBC to the "replicators".
All replicators communicate with the "sequencer", which determines the
total order of all "SQL statements". The replicators then execute this
total order against all connected databases, returning the result
directly to the client.

Thank you. I've read the paper, too, and was hoping other
people had investigated further. I will be talking to their
tech folks so I may have information if other people need it.
