  • Patent number: 11995102
    Abstract: In an approach, a processor receives a data manipulation request on a target database. A processor sends the data manipulation request to a source database. The source database attempts to persist a data manipulation action relating to the data manipulation request. Responsive to a successful attempt to persist the data manipulation action: the source database sends a log position of the data manipulation action to a data replication engine; a processor replicates the data manipulation request triggering the data manipulation action in the target database; and a processor confirms to the target database that the data manipulation action in the target database has been completed.
