was very complex (with a lot of triggers and procedures, as well as PK
values that were subject to change, etc). I couldn't redesign my
database, and none of the solutions I could find were able to cope with
this sort of thing. Also, the price of IBReplicator was more than I was
willing to spend, and the only free alternative I could find wasn't good
enough, because it was only a one-way solution.
So you have several options :
1) *Make your own replicator*. Be forewarned that this is a tremendous
amount of work (it took me over 300 hours!). On the other hand, at least
you'll get exactly what you want.
2) *Get IBReplicator.*
3) *Adapt and use my replicator, or perhaps someone else's*. Please note
however, that my replicator is written in C++Builder, which might
present some problems with adapting it if you're using any other tool.
Hope this helps,
Jonathan Neve.
