Abstract: A method for reliable data synchronization within a network is disclosed. The producer system stories data in a persistent data store and produces one or more data updates. The producer system simultaneously transmits the data updates to a consumer system and initiating storage of the data updates at the producer system. When storage of the data updates at the producer system is complete, the producer system transmits a first acknowledgment to the consumer system. The producer system determines whether a second acknowledgment has been received from the consumer system, wherein the second acknowledgment indicates that the consumer system has successfully stored the data updates at the consumer system. In accordance with a determination that the second acknowledgment has been received from the consumer system, the producer system changes the temporary status of the data updates stored at the producer system to a permanent status.

Abstract: Disclosed in some examples is a method of database replication, the method including at a Relational Database Management System (RDMS), determining a first replication mode; identifying a triggering event; determining that the triggering event indicates a change in the first replication mode; responsive to determining that the triggering event indicates a change in the first replication mode, determining a second replication mode, the second replication mode being a different replication mode than the first replication mode; identifying a database change made by one or more database tasks; and replicating the database change to an external replication component according to the second replication mode.

Abstract: Systems and methods are presented for completing transactions in a synchronous replication environment. In some embodiments, a computer-implemented method can include generating in a database server, an identifier to identify a database transaction. The method can also include transmitting the identifier to a replication server; receiving acknowledgement that the identifier is acknowledged by the replication server; storing the transaction in the database server; and executing the transaction after receiving acknowledgement from the replication server and after determining the transaction is stored in the database server; wherein transmitting the identifier to the replication server occurs in parallel with storing the transaction in the database server.

Abstract: Log based replication using parallel scanners is described. An example method includes establishing replication paths from a primary database to a plurality of destination servers. A plurality of scanner threads are spawned to scan a transaction log of the primary database. Specifically, one scanner thread is assigned to each replication path corresponding to each destination server. For each scanner thread, data bound to a replication path associated with the scanner thread is selected from a subset of the transaction log. Accordingly, the data is distributed to a destination server associated with the replication path.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for replicating data in a distributed database system. Data containing a replicated truncation point associated with a replicating system is received via a data path. It can then be determined that the truncation point represents the point at which all data in a transaction log has been replicated (e.g., successfully or safely) and the transaction log can then be truncated at the truncation point (i.e., the data up to the truncation point deflected). Data containing an additional replicated truncation point associated with an additional replicating system via an additional data path may be received. It can then be determined that the additional replicated truncation point represents the point at which all data in the transaction log has been replicated and the transaction log can be then truncated at the additional replicated truncation point.

Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product are provided for replicating a table in a source database to a target database. In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, a subscription to the table is defined and a query is executed on the source database. The query is then normalized, and it is determined whether the query would cause semantically appropriate changes to the target database. If so, the normalized query is sent to the target database for execution, in accordance with an additional embodiment of the present invention.

Abstract: A SQL language interface for a messaging system, such as IBM MQ, is described. In one embodiment, for example, in a database system, a method is described for providing real-time message support for improved database connectivity, the method comprises steps of: defining Structured Query Language (SQL) extensions having commands that provide message-based connectivity for databases; receiving an SQL statement including a command specifying that a message be sent for communicating particular database data; upon execution of the SQL statement by the database system, creating an outbound message for communicating the particular database data to a destination; and posting the outbound database to a message bus, whereupon the particular database data is communicated asynchronously to the destination.
