Basic Primary Copy Model

The basic primary copy model allows you to replicate data from a primary database to destination databases.

This model is well suited to decision-support applications, although low-volume transaction-processing applications can update primary data remotely, either directly over the WAN or through request functions (replicated stored procedures). Primary data that is updated from remote sites can then be replicated back to subscribing sites.

• Table Replication Definitions
  Table replication definitions allow you to replicate data from a primary source as read-only copies.
• Applied Functions
  You can use applied functions to replicate stored procedure invocations to remote sites with replicate data.
