In today’s digital business environment, systems have to be available round the clock and even a few minutes of Internet outage can lead to colossal losses. For critical sectors such as healthcare, technology, and finance, it is important to have the infrastructure in place that will ensure quick recovery of data.

There are several replication techniques such as one-way, one-to-many, many-to-one, and bi-directional, all of which leads to datasets being in sync with each other. One of the key tools for real-time database replication is transactional replication. In this method, data is copied from the publisher to one or more subscribers once and thereafter, transactions ar
