pgpool is a connection pool server for PostgreSQL. pgpool runs between
PostgreSQL's clients(front ends) and servers(back ends). A PostgreSQL client can
connect to pgpool as if it were a standard PostgreSQL server.
pgpool caches the connection to PostgreSQL server to reduce the overhead to
establish the connection to it.
===> The following configuration options are available for pgpool-II-44-4.4.18:
DOCS=on: Build and/or install documentation
MEMCACHED=off: Use memcached for in memory query cache
PAM=off: Build with PAM support
SSL=on: Build with OpenSSL support
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings
In order to start pgpool you need some more configuration:
# sysrc -f /etc/rc.conf pgpool_enable="YES"
# sysrc -f /etc/rc.conf pgpool_user="root"
Please consider the usage of another user. The user is
required to have read/write access to /var/run/pgpool.
Using the root user is - as always - an security issue.
