Collision avoidance in database replication systems

摘要

Database replication systems replicate blocks of transaction steps or operations with synchronous replication, and perform dual writes with queuing and blocking of transactions. Tokens are used to prepare a target database for replication from a source database and to confirm the preparation. Database replication systems switch between a synchronous replication mode and an asynchronous replication mode, and then back to a synchronous replication mode, based on detection of selected events.
