Replication Methods

<p>
This chapter describes the APIs available to build Berkeley DB replicated
applications. There are two different ways to build replication into a Berkeley DB
application, and the APIs for both are described in this chapter.
</p>
<p>
For an overview of the two different ways to build a replicated
application, see the <em class="citetitle">Berkeley DB Getting Started with Replicated Applications</em> guide.
</p>
<p>
The first, and simplest, way to build a replication Berkeley DB application is via
the <span class="emphasis"><em>Replication Manager</em></span>. If the Replication Manager does not
meet your application's architectural requirements, you can write your own
replication implementation using the "Base APIs".
</p>
<p>
Note that the Replication Manager is written using the Base APIs.
</p>
<p>
Note, also, that applications which make use of the Replication Manager
use many of the Base APIs as the situation warrants. That said,
a few Base API methods cannot be used by applications that
are making use of the Replication Manager. Where this is
the case, this is noted in the following method
descriptions.
</p>
<p>
Finally, Replication Manager applications use the
<a class="link" href="db_site.html" title="The DB_SITE Handle">DB_SITE</a> class to manage
and configure replication sites. This handle is not used in any
way by Base API applications.
