Tim,

I'm wondering if you have a handle on the release date of EDB 2.0 yet?
Or if you have replication ready for beta testers yet?

Thanks!

Almost.  Between the 1.09 Build 2 and the support plans, I've had to delay
2.0 quite a bit.  Fortunately, things are clear now and I should be able to
wrap up the replication shortly.

At this stage, I think that we're going to go ahead and stagger the feature
set for 2.0, starting with the replication being the first feature out the
door.   That will allow those that are waiting for the replication to be
able to use it immediately, while the other features can be phased in at the
rate of a new minor release about every 2 weeks.  That way, everything
should be done within the first month, and we can continue from there in
terms of adding to the feature set.  That was one of the main points of the
new support plans, so it will be good to get away from the major upgrade
cycle ASAP.

How about synchronization?  Is it going to be part of the new features in EDB2?

If you are talking about "replication", it's announced as one of the
first features to implement in V2, as you can read in Tim's post.
If what you have in mind is something else, I'm afraid I don't
understand what are you talking about... can you explain further, please?

Synchronization is the ability to make two different DBs similar in terms of data by running this feature from EDB it self.  It is a well know
feature in DB engines.  Tim mentioned a couple of months back the support of this feature in EDB later on.

As far as I understood, you can synchronize 2 databases using
replication. If you have bi-directional replication you have
synchronization.

I am not sure, but the way I understood was: there are some built in fields, some sort of Date/Time stamp + a sequential numeric field that
should with a little help from the user (Identifying the key fields maybe by SQL or a OOP method) should be able to do that.

I wished/hoped/prayed for a long time to see an SQL that could do:

SYNCHRONIZ Table1 WITH Table2 USING Field1,Field2;


Of course with the help of the other built-in fields.  WOW...


Hope not to hear this: "IN YOUR ???? DREAM".

Don't bother, I was still dreaming
