Module 9Replication in SQL Server Replication introduction: Replication is a set of technologies for copying and distributing data and database objects from ‘one database to another and then synchronizing between databases to maintain consistency. Replication allows you to replicate as little as a single table or only few columns in table or as much asall of the tables in the database. at torah covth opdtable subsniber ® Mowe Replication Training with 6+ real time experience)Page 1REPLICATION COMPONENTS Replication is based on the “Publish and Subscribe” metaphor. Let us look at each of the individual components in detall. Publisher - It is the system that provides the data to be replicated and acts as a source database. It consists of a Windows server running SQL Server database. The Publisher maintains information about which data is configured for replication. 1, Publication - the data to be replicated is grouped in an object called Publication. tt is made up of one or more articles. Publication is created in order to publish data to other systems. i 2. Article = An Article is individual component of data that is to be replicated. It could be an entire table or specific columns in a table or specific rows in a table or a stored procedure. In short an Article isa subset of a table that is being replicated. Subsets are created by using filters. A filter that is used to create a subset of rows is called Horizontal filter. A filter that is used to create a subset of columns is called Vertical filter. 3. Distributor = They are the servers that distribute the replicated data. They store the distribution database, meta data, historical data, transactions. 4, Subscriber -They are the destination servers for replication. They store the replicated date and receive updates. Subscribers can also make changes to the data. You can publish data to multiple subscribers. 5. Subscription - itis a request by a subscriber to receive a publication. It also defines what published data will be sent to the subscriber. 7 6. Push Subscriptions ~ The distributor is responsible for providing updates to the subscribers. Updates are initiated without any request from the subscriber. It can be configured to keep the replication close to real time or to perform updates on a regular schedule, 7. Pull Subscriptions -Ht allows subscribers to specify when the changes are propagated. It is useful if there are large number of subscribers and when the subscribers are not connected to the network. The initiation of the replication is done on the subscriber side. REPLICATION AGENTS ‘The following are the replication agents and let us discuss each one of those in detail + Snapshot Agent - itis used for creating and propagating the snapshots used in snapshot replication. Each Published database has its own Snapshot Agent that runs on the distributor and connects to the publisher and takes a snapshot of the objects. It then Ravinder (SQL DBA Training with 6+ real time experience)Page 2"updates the information in the distribution database. Snapshot Agents are used with all types of replication. + Distribution Agent -it applies the data from snapshot replication or transactions from transactional replication to subscribers. it can run on the distributor or on subscribers. It runs on the distributor for push subscriptions and on subscriber for pull subscriptions. This agent is not used with merge replication. + Merge Agent- The Merge agent is used in Merge replic incremental changes that have occurred since the last reconciliation. in Merge replication there is no distribution or snapshot agent involved instead the Merge agent communicates with both the publisher and distributor. There is one Merge agent for each merge subscription. + Log Reader ~ The Log reader is used for transactional replication. It moves the information from transaction log in the publisher to the distribution database. Each database that is using transaction replication has its own Log reader agent. + Queue Reader Agent: Thisis used in Transaction replication with queued updating option, It takes the changes that has occurred in the subscriber and applies ‘them to the publisher. There is only one Queue reader agent per database, and it merges the Configuring Snapshot Replication 1. Configuring distributor 2.
