Synchronizing Databases

The Refresh Operation

The refresh operation synchronizes source and target data. A target database initiates the refresh operation. Changes from one target that apply at the source are propagated to other targets in the synchronized system when those targets refresh.

The source database cannot directly initiate a refresh operation (although it is possible to write an application which does so).

To issue a refresh, use the SQL-J command REFRESH on the target database. For more details on the REFRESH statement, see REFRESH.

NOTE: If you upgrade the locale of the source database, the target database will not pick up the new locale until the first subsequent REFRESH. For more information about localization, see the localization appendix in the Cloudscape Developer's Guide.
