Verification was easy. We just powered down the primary machine, changed the db name in the external table, drop the replication on the backup server and restart the application. Everything worked fine. After 2-3 days, over the weekend, we rebuilt the replication again. Yechiel Adar Mehish -

We are doing exactly that. We use multi master synchronous replication. In case the regular server dies, we drop replication from the backup machine. Change one parameter in the application ini file (what db name to use in connections), start the application again. About 5 minutes turn around

Yechiel - So how do you verify your backup environment? My gut feeling is that simpler systems are less prone to catastrophe, and multimaster replication definitely adds a lot of pieces compared to conventional backups. Dennis Williams DBA Lifetouch, Inc. [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original

Andrey, Don't even think about implementing this until you've read the manuals and thoroughly understand the concepts. Replication can be very unforgiving when you don't properly design and configure it. You may also find that your application is not even suited for it. - Is it a must for

Dear gurus ! I need to implement multimaster replication (asynchronous) among 2 databases. A couple of general questions before i start : - Is it a must for the 2 DBs to be of the same version (release) ? - Is it a must for the 2 DBs to run on the same O/S, hardware etc ... ? - Do U have to

Nihar, Don't remove the network link!! O.KI'm not a replication guru, but my thoughts are that the way replication is setup, the commit can only happen if the data can be replicated as it should. If there is no network connectivity, the instance cannot get to one of the other required

Nihar, This is not normal. Asynchronous propagation populates the deferred transactions queues which are then pushed at a later time, so the only thing that should happen when network connectivity is lost is that the job pushing the queues will fail. Once connectivity is re-established the job
