Replication Server support for replication into a non-ASE replicate database requires:

• Replication Server system tables—rs_lastcommit and rs_info—created in the non-ASE database, and Replication Server support functions such as rs_get_lastcommit and rs_get_charset.

• Function strings that:

  1. Replace certain language command and stored procedure invocations from the replicate Replication Server, then

  2. Produce operations in the replicate database that emulate the behavior of the commands and stored procedures that would exist in a Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise replicate database.

• Heterogeneous datatype support for non-ASE datatypes that do not map directly to Replication Server datatypes (or Sybase ASE datatypes), which must be translated to the appropriate datatypes for replication into the replicate database.
