Let’s say you have a production database up and running and you want to set up a second database with Bucardo-powered replication between them. Getting a new master up and running without downtime for an existing master, and without losing any data, is a bit fiddly and under-documented. Having just figured out one way to do it with the forthcoming Bucardo 5 code base, I wanted to blog it as much for my own reference as for yours.
