dbmirror

Hi,

Does anybody know if the slave database(s) in the dbmirror replication model can be queried (via SQL SELECT statement) by a client program as if it isquering the master database (I understand that the slave database may not be a 100% mirror of the master at any given moment but that is good enough)? We are exploring the possibility of a multi-server architecture where the master postgres database would handle all the data update maintenance workload whereas the slave(s) would handle all the query workload.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
TIA.
Fred
