SymmetricDS

Both Oracle Advanced Replication and SymmetricDS provide database replication, which is a valuable tool for improving access to critical data that drives a business. While some common replication concepts are used across both products, there are ... [More] some differences in terminology and configuration. Let's take a look at some of the scenarios for database replication and how both products accomplish them. [Less]

This was JumpMind's first time attending the Stir Trek conference held in Columbus, OH. The conference had a reputation of selling out quickly and established itself as a well known developer conference right here in the midwest. The one day ... [More] event is also unique compared to other conferences that makes it much more available to developers with such busy schedules. The Avengers theme also contributed to several costumes surfacing in the crowd, including a full replica, Captain America. The precursor to the conference consisted of a game night followed up with a finale event of the new movie, Avengers: Age of Ultron to all that attended. [Less]

SymmetricDS can be used to replicate Firebird databases to the cloud for Disaster Recovery. Setup is fairly straightforward. Select the tables you want to sync and the direction you want to sync them and, voilà, you have a backup database. ... [More] While this is all well and good, if the database relies on id generators for primary key generation, then when failing over to the slave database you will probably end up with generators that no longer reflect the next value to insert.

All SymmetricDS synchronization configurations require database connectivity. As a result questions often arise around the topic of database permissions. Specifically what permissions are required for the SymmetricDS user and do the SymmetricDS tables need to run in the same catalog or schema as the tables to be synchronized.

Anyone who has been on a night time support rotation can relate to the 3 AM phone call that gets you groggily out of bed, has you fixing some simple, but important problem, and then leaves you staring at the ceiling by 4 AM wondering if you should ... [More] just go into work, because you know you aren't getting back to sleep. All of the engineers in our office have been there, done that, and didn't like it very much. That's one of the reasons we focus so much on resilient operations for SymmetricDS including our "Hands Off" Recovery of data synchronization. "Hands Off" recovery is pretty much exactly what it sounds like. SymmetricDS has been built from the ground up to recover and keep databases in sync without manual intervention any time it possibly can. [Less]
