9th Mar, 2005 (Gurgaon, India): Daffodil Software, a Java database and
replication technology company, today announced the beta release of
Daffodil Replicator v1.7 with Push-Pull replication at SourceForge.net.

Daffodil Replicator is an Open Source data synchronization software
that ensures high availability of data in environments that make use of
heterogeneous databases. Replicator can either capture a data-source
snapshot OR synchronize change to maintain a local database at remote
client locations. It can also be used for sharing workload across
enterprise database severs, by mirroring vital data on identical
databases.

New Features in v1.7

* Pull replication - that allows client sites to pull Publisher
(server) changes while ensuring that data changes by individual clients
will not get updated to the main server.

* Push replication - that allows client sites to push their changes to
the main server while ensuring that data changes by the server will not
get updated to client sites.

* Different GUI for Publication Server and Subscription Server.

* Various performance improvements have been done - users can now take
snapshot of millions of records.
Ever since the Open Sourcing of Daffodil Replicator by Daffodil
Software around four months ago, Replicator project team have been
rolling out new and improved versions on a regular basis. The latest
version 1.7 is equipped with Push & Pull replication that caters to the
needs of those users who do not want Publisher (Sever) and Subscriber
(Client) changes to merge each other as in the case of Merge
replication.

Apart from various performance enhancements, v1.7 has fixed major bugs
related to System tables & column names, Parent-child relationship when
adding tables for Publication and OutOfMemory problem in snapshot.
Further, both Console and Developers Guides have been thoroughly
revised to reflect the new features introduced. The source code and
revised documents are available at:
