A replication function is a Replication Server object that represents a data server operation such as
insert,
delete,
select, or
begin transaction. Replication Server distributes such operations to other Replication Servers as functions. Each function consists of a function name and a set of data parameters. To execute the function in a destination database, Replication Server uses function strings to convert a function to a command or set of commands for a type of database.
