1. Database connection pooling, load balancing and write-replication DBBalancer provides facilities to transparently implement: - pooling of connections - load balancing across multiple backends - write replication to multiple backends DBBalancer is a middleware daemon that sits in between database clients, like C, C++, TCL, Java JDBC, Perl DBI, etc programs and a database server. Currently the only server supported is PostgreSQL, but the architecture is open to embrace more servers in future. Also see http://dbbalancer.sourceforge.net/ for more information.
