Abstract: Several replication subscriptions are defined for a table in a database management system. The table is divided into partitions. Each replication subscription replicates transactions to a range of partitions. Subscriptions are assignable to different consistency groups. Transaction consistency is preserved at the consistency group level. A persistent delay table is created for each of several apply functions. Each apply function processes replication subscriptions for one consistency group, to replicate the table to a target table in parallel. Transactions for a given range of a partition are executed in parallel. When an apply function upon a row of the target table results in an error, the row is stored in the delay table. Application of each row in the delay table is repeatedly retried, and if successful, the row is removed from the delay table.
