NAME

       CLUSTER NAME - preamble - identifying Slony-I cluster

SYNOPSIS

       CLUSTER NAME = [clustername;]

DESCRIPTION

       Must  be  the  very first statement in every slonik script. It defines the namespace in which all Slony-I
       specific functions, procedures, tables and sequences are defined. The namespace name is built by  prefix‐
       ing  the  given string literal with an underscore. This namespace will be identical in all databases that
       participate in the same replication group.

       No user objects are supposed to live in this namespace, and the namespace is not allowed to  exist  prior
       to  adding  a database to the replication system. Thus, if you add a new node using pg_dump -s on a data‐
       base that is already in the cluster of replicated databases, you will need to drop the namespace via  the
       SQL command DROP SCHEMA _testcluster CASCADE; .

EXAMPLE

            CLUSTER NAME = testcluster;
