CHAPTER 20

Using Replication in Your Application

If you design your applications for multiple users, database replication can improve the way your users share data. By using database replication, you can make copies of a database, called replicas, so that two or more users can work on their own replica of the database at the same time. Although replicas may be located on different computers and in different offices, they stay synchronized with one another. This chapter discusses how to create and use replicas of your application database.
