This document describes how to write replicated applications for
|
||
Berkeley DB 11<span class="emphasis"><em>g</em></span> Release 2 (library version 11.2.5.3). The APIs used to
|
||
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>
|
||
Structure names are represented in <code class="classname">monospaced font</code>, as are <code class="methodname">method
|
||
names</code>. For example: "<code class="methodname">DB->open()</code> is a method
|
||
on a <code class="classname">DB</code> handle."
|
||
</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">/* File: gettingstarted_common.h */
|
||
typedef struct stock_dbs {
|
||
DB *inventory_dbp; /* Database containing inventory information */
|
||
DB *vendor_dbp; /* Database containing vendor information */
|
||
|
||
char *db_home_dir; /* Directory containing the database
|
||
* files */
|
||
char *inventory_db_name; /* Name of the inventory database */
|
||
char *vendor_db_name; /* Name of the vendor database */
|
||
} STOCK_DBS; </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">typedef struct stock_dbs {
|
||
DB *inventory_dbp; /* Database containing inventory information */
|
||
DB *vendor_dbp; /* Database containing vendor information */
|
||
<strong class="userinput"><code>DB *itemname_sdbp; /* Index based on the item name index */</code></strong>
|
||
char *db_home_dir; /* Directory containing the database
|
||
* files */
|
||
<strong class="userinput"><code>char *itemname_db_name; /* Itemname secondary database */</code></strong>
|
||
char *inventory_db_name; /* Name of the inventory database */
|
||
char *vendor_db_name; /* Name of the vendor database */
|
||
} STOCK_DBS; </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.
