ASA Database Administration Guide
Replicating Data with Replication Server
This section provides a step-by-step tutorial describing how to replicate data from a primary database to a replicate database. Both databases in the tutorial are Adaptive Server Anywhere databases.
This section assumes you have a running Replication Server. For more information about how to install or configure Replication Server, see the Replication Server documentation.
This tutorial describes how to replicate only tables. For information about replicating procedures, see Preparing procedures and functions for replication.
The tutorial uses a simple example of a (very) primitive office news system: a single table with an ID column holding an integer, a column holding the user ID of the author of the news item, and a column holding the text of the news item. The id column and the author column make up the primary key.
Before you work through the tutorial, create a directory (for example, c:\tutorial) to hold the files you create in the tutorial.
