Hi Alan,


Yes I do indeed need replication, but I need it in realtime, not
sheduled once or even a couple a times a day.

I was in the assumtption that the available tools didn't do it in
realtime. But now after reading further on ibphoenix.com about
IBreplicator, it seems to be triggerable by events as well !

So I guess I didn't do my research well :-(

In my case the target database is a sleeping database, up until the
master server dies, then the target becomes the master database.


I built the sync-server app with Kylix 3 using UIB components.
Now that it's finished I wonder wether I should throw it away and go
for the IBReplicator tool anyway... Especially the IBevent driven
feature makes me doubt (so no polling needed !)

Thanks for the hint Alan, I'm sure gonna discuss this internally.

PS. IBPhoenix.com.au seems to be down, I did see IBReplicator pages
on IBPhoenix.com, but you mentioned 'a list of suitable candidates',
didn't see that on IBPhoenix.com.

best regards,
Dirk Naudts.
