The present invention relates to a method and a system for distributing database changes in telecommunications networks. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method and a softswitch for distributing subscriber database changes to other network elements of a next generation telecommunications network. In accordance with the inventive method, data-base changes are distributed in a telecommunications network, by detecting a database change in a first network element (110) and determining at least one second network element (120) storing a copy of the database portion that has changed. Then, using the TCAP over SCTP protocol, a message is communicated from the first network element (110) to the at least one second network element (120), the message comprising information that a database change has occurred and instructions as to how to update the corresponding database portion. This message is processed by the at least one second network element (120), which then updates the affected database portion of based on the information contained in the message.
