August 29, 2005: Daffodil Software today released Replicator v2.0
(beta) with support for Firebird to Firebird data replication, in
addition to significant performance enhancements.  With v2.0, all
replication operations can be performed faster, when compared to
earlier Replicator versions.

The new features introduced in Replicator v2.0 are:

Support for Firebird: Replicator v2.0 can be used with Firebird
database.  It supports bi-directional data synchronization between
Firebird (Server) database to multiple Firebird (Client) databases. The
version does not provide the functionality of Firebird data replication
to heterogeneous database servers.  This functionality will be
introduced in future Replicator versions.

Partial Tables Replication: Partial Table Replication allows a user to
ignore specific columns in a publisher database table. It provides the
flexibility to disregard data (residing in publisher database columns)
that is not required on the client side, hence making the replication
operation more efficient.

Cyclic Tables Replication: Replicator v2.0 can be used with complex
database structures where tables have cyclical dependencies. The
previous replication versions could not replicate the tables that hold
references to each other.

In regards to performance, with Replicator v2.0, the XML file creation
process has been reviewed and optimized. The new process drastically
reduces the time taken in capturing the insertion, deletion and
updation of records from Replicator Shadow tables and transmitting the
same to   the target database server. Major bug fixing related to tags
issues in XML file, appending the foreign key constraint and  creation
of transaction log file during Real time Replication has also been
done.
