SQLite is file-based (no server behind DB), you must provide your own synchronization (copying file, executing SQL on both databases, etc).
I don't know if there´s an application/library that does it for you automatically. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Wade Williams Sent: quinta-feira, 11 de dezembro de 2008 14:32 To: sqlite-users@sqlite.org Subject: [sqlite] Sqlite replication I'm looking for an honest assessment from someone that may have made this decision in the past. I'm considering using an embedded database for an upcoming application. Operation rate is high 20,000-60,000 per day. (Those will mostly be selects, but some smaller percentage will be inserts). Our choices appear to be SQLite or Berkley DB. An RDBMS isn't really an option due to the administrative cost. My first inclination was to use SQLite. From what I've seen of the performance numbers, it should be able to support that rate without much trouble. However, a key feature is disaster recovery. If the primary machine goes down we've got to quickly switch to another machine (quickly meaning within minutes if not seconds). In my research it appears SQLite may not be a good option, since the only replication appears to be "lock the database and copy the file to the new machine." Berkeley DB seems to have the advantage of having replication built-in. However, I have no idea how useful the replication is and of course the API is much more inscrutable. I've also certainly heard all the Berkley DB corruption horror stories. I'm OK with stepping off the deep end into Berkeley DB, but I'd prefer SQLite. However, I'm certainly not looking to shoot myself in the foot. I'd appreciate input from anyone on this subject, especially tales from replication projects.
