I'm really not knowleadgeble in DB sync and it might be a good solution, but I'm partial to message based integration.
Right now we're facing the problem where here in Brazil the POS systems have some rather unique legal requirements. The solution I'm developing will be based on XML message passing. Might sound more work (and it is) but it guarantees two things: 1) It's more reliable (arguably) 2) It's more scalable (definitely) 3) It's easier to integrate third party solution. The third is relevant since POS solutions is very hardware dependent and it's a pain in the arse to maintain hardware compatibility. By shelling out some cash my company is guaranteed to have a working POS solution, while maintaining OpenERP for the bulk of operations. SAP also adopts such strategy for some retail customers. As soon as I have a better drafted blueprint, I'll ask for suggestions from the community. Not related to OpenERP but relevant: store-to-store merchandise transfer is not the answer.
