Chapter 13. Updateable Snapshots
Updateable snapshots offer a means of deploying updateable copies of data at multiple sites. Unlike multi-master replication, which maintains copies of all records in a table at multiple sites, updateable snapshots may be partitioned horizontally. Another key difference between updateable snapshots and multi-master table replication is that updateable snapshot sites need not be in constant communication with the master site. Common usages of updateable snapshots include sales lead data on a salesperson’s laptop computer or grocery register receipt data. In both cases, the master data would reside at a headquarters site, and the updateable snapshot might push data back to the headquarters site at the end of the business day.
