<p class="MsoNormal">Hello Team,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks for the response and I will wish to ask some few questions.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are planning to use Bucardo to upgrade our postgres 9.3 to version 13.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Can we set this up while the application is still connected to the source db? And what will happen with data coming
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In while we are taking an initial data restore ? or will onecopy =2 solve this concern in a way that after the restore is
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Completes, we start the sync and alter bucardo to add onecopy to the sync which will then copy everything together
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">With the data when we were doing the initial restore on the target?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Second question is are they some data types that the tool does not replicates data on columns with those data types?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">And please is there a link to these data types as I check from the web site but could not see?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Lastly, after we allow replication to run for some days , how are we going to go about doing a cut-over to make the
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Target to become a standalone? I did not see how to do a cutover on the website.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please if I could get advise on these questions I will really appreciate.<o:p></o:p></p>
