- pgpool

  pgpool is a connection pool server for PostgreSQL; it allows an application to connect to it as if it were a standard PostgreSQL server. It caches connections, which reduces the overhead involved in establishing them. It supports a “scheduled switchover” feature, which would allow dynamically switching over from one server to another. That would be very useful when doing a MOVE SET, as it would allow applications to be switched to point to the new origin without needing to update their configuration.
