A comment to ".. mysql replication to heterogeneous database". Isn't a slave of a multi-master MySQL replication setup (what I understand is possible with GTIDs at least) a 'heterogeneous database' as well?
I can only agree that the new discovery/technology that justifies (if it does) a patent grant is not easy to see. And terms used in the document are not all well-defined either IMO. Besides much of the document is just a rewrite/quote of MySQL documentation (such as http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/data-types.html for instance). -- Peter On Thu, Jan 23, 2014 at 2:28 PM, Jan Lindström <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > After a short read, it seems that they use a new technology called VAM > (Vendor Access Module) to process binlog files/events and extract module > (e.g. Oracle GoldenGate) to create trail that is then applied to target > database (e.g. Non-MySQL database).
