This document describes how to write replicated applications for
2012-11-14 21:35:20 +00:00
Berkeley DB 11<span class="emphasis"><em>g</em></span> Release 2 (library version 11.2.5.3). The APIs used to
2011-09-13 17:44:24 +00:00
implement replication in your application are described here. This
book describes the concepts surrounding replication, the scenarios
under which you might choose to use it, and the architectural
requirements that a replication application has over a
transactional application.
</p>
<p>
This book is aimed at the software engineer responsible for writing a
replicated DB application.
</p>
<p>
This book assumes that you have already read and understood the
concepts contained in the
<span><em class="citetitle">Berkeley DB Getting Started with Transaction Processing</em> guide.</span>

The following typographical conventions are used within in this manual:
</p>
<p>
Class names are represented in <code class="classname">monospaced font</code>, as are <code class="methodname">method
names</code>. For example:
<span>"The <code class="methodname">Environment()</code>
constructor returns an <code class="classname">Environment</code> class object."</span>
</p>
<p>
Variable or non-literal text is presented in <span class="emphasis"><em>italics</em></span>. For example: "Go to your
<span class="emphasis"><em>DB_INSTALL</em></span> directory."
</p>
<p>
Program examples are displayed in a <code class="classname">monospaced font</code> on a shaded background.
For example:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">import com.sleepycat.db.DatabaseConfig;
...
// Allow the database to be created.
DatabaseConfig myDbConfig = new DatabaseConfig();
myDbConfig.setAllowCreate(true);</pre>
<p>
In some situations, programming examples are updated from one chapter to the next. When
this occurs, the new code is presented in <strong class="userinput"><code>monospaced bold</code></strong> font. For example:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"><strong class="userinput"><code>import com.sleepycat.db.Database;</code></strong>
import com.sleepycat.db.DatabaseConfig;
...
// Allow the database to be created.
DatabaseConfig myDbConfig = new DatabaseConfig();
myDbConfig.setAllowCreate(true);
<strong class="userinput"><code>Database myDb = new Database("mydb.db", null, myDbConfig);</code></strong> </pre>
<div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;">
<h3 class="title">Note</h3>
<p>
Finally, notes of special interest are represented using a note block such
as this.
