Introduction</h2> <p>Virtuoso provides several replication methods:</p> <a name="PREFACE_SNAPSHOT" /> <h3>11.1.1. Snapshot replication</h3> Virtuoso provides the following flavors of snapshot replication: <ul> <li> <p>Non-incremental snapshot replication</p> <p>Non-incremental snapshot replication is useful when the data is changed infrequently or when data is modified in large portions at a time. </p> </li> <li> <p>Incremental snapshot replication</p> <p>Incremental snapshot replication is useful when the data is changed frequently and implements incremental updates using a snapshot log.</p> </li> <li> <p>Bi-directional snapshot replication</p> <p>Bi-directional snapshot replication allows data to be modified on both publisher and subscribers. This is useful read-write access to the replicas is needed.</p> </li> </ul> <div class="note"> <div class="notetitle">Note:</div> <p>Snapshot replication can be used in heterogeneous environments to set up replication between non-Virtuoso databases.</p> </div> <br /> <a name="PREFACE_TRX" /> <h3>11.1.2. Transactional replication</h3> <p>Transactional replication allows subscribers to receive data in near-real time. ACID properties of transactions are maintained in transactional replication as well. Virtuoso implements the following flavors of transactional replication: <ul> <li> <p>Ordinary transactional replication</p> <p>Ordinary transactional replication flavor implements one-way data replication and is useful when data can be modified on only one server with other servers participating in replication providing read-only data access.</p> </li> <li> <p>Bi-directional transactional replication</p> <p>Bi-directional transactional replication is useful when there is a requirement to allow data updates on multiple servers.</p> </li> </ul> </p> <br /> <table border="0" width="90%" id="navbarbottom"> <tr> <td align="left" width="33%"> <a href="repl.html" title="Data Replication, Synchronization and Transformation Services">Previous</a> <br />Contents of Data Replication, Synchronization and Transformation Services</td> <td align="center" width="34%"> <a href="repl.html">Chapter Contents</a> </td> <td align="right" width="33%"> <a href="SNAPSHOT.html" title="Snapshot Replication">Next</a> <br />Snapshot Replication</td> </tr> </table> </div> <div id="footer"> <div>Copyright© 1999 - 2009 OpenLink Software All rights reserved.</div> <div id="validation"> <a href="http://validator.w3.org/check/referer"> <img src="http://www.w3.org/Icons/valid-xhtml10" alt="Valid XHTML 1.0!" height="31" width="88" /> </a> <a href="http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/"> <img src="http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/images/vcss" alt="Valid CSS!" height="31" width="88" /> </a> </div> </div> </body> </html>
