Hello, every body I have 2 database server. the second is a copy of the first. It's replication. But there is no connection line because it is not necesery to have an identical copy. Every day, i have to update the second using a self made program. To identified which record has changed,inserted or deleted, i have tables that contain a primary key and type of action. For example : taStudent (idx integer not null, name char(30), address char(60), primary key(idx))
taStudentAction(idx integer NOT NULL, Action char(1) not null, primary key(idx)) Action will contain 'A','U','D' for Add,Update & Delete. The selfmade program will create a SQL script that contain script to insert,update and delete data in the second. To update the second, the script must be transfered using FTP & dialupnetworking. The cost of dialupnetworking is quite expensive, The question are : 1. Is there any better approach to solve this problem ? 2. My friend told me to use XML, can this solve my problem in a effecient manner ? 3. Is there any drawback using this approach? 4. Thanks for your enlightment gurus. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
