Although I am new to this group, I feel that the reference to CLUSTERNAME in the slony docs is ambiguous and confusing. In Postgresql itself, CLUSTER is ambiguous. A postgresql cluster refers to a physical area on the disk where the database files will be stored. However, the SQL command to "CLUSTER indexname ON tablename" means "REORDER" the table based on it's index. In slony, CLUSTERDBNAME refers to the replication "schema name" that will be created when the "INIT CLUSTER" command is executed. I therefore respectfully suggest that the documentation ( and possibly slony command INIT CLUSTER) be changed as follows. CLUSTERDBNAME should be changed to REPSCHEMANAME INIT CLUSTER should be changed to INIT REPSCHEMA. It should also be clarified that REPSCHEMA is created by INIT REPSCHEMA and should not exist before that.
