MonetDB lacks a master/slave replication scheme, such as e.g. MySQL has.

Many ingredients are already implemented in the development branch. The master and slave properties are being handled by monetdb and merovingian, and a merovingian_url property is passed onto each database being started by merovingian.
The feature should be finished in a generic way, e.g. it shouldn't only just work on the same machine by accident because the IPs of master and slave are the same.

Changeset 877b04706e12 made by Fabian Groffen fabian@cwi.nl in the MonetDB repo, refers to this bug.

For complete details, see http//devmonetdborg/hg/MonetDB?cmd=changeset;node=877b04706e12

Changeset description:

master/slave replication: remove non-functional work in progress

The master/slave replication work will be committed in a separate
branch that will track the progress for bug #2618.
For as long as that work is not finished, we remove the work in progress
from the default (and so release) branche not to confuse users of the
system by presenting options for non-functional bits.
