Designing and preparing databases for synchronization
After you install solidDB® on each machine, you are ready to prepare and design your databases for synchronization. This requires the following tasks:
Define master and replica databases.
Create your database schema according to advanced replication guidelines.
Create catalogs if you have a multi-master environment or you are using different schema names in your master and replica database.
Define concurrency conflict handling in synchronized tables, i.e. determine if the tables should use optimistic or pessimistic concurrency control.
Provide user access required for synchronization.
Set up backups of the master database and large replicas.
Design application(s) for data synchronization.
