tor=tables; ...

TableOrder=tables; ...

tables = table-name [,table-name], ...

This option allows you to specify the order in which tables are uploaded. You must specify all tables that are to be uploaded. If you include tables that are not included in the synchronization, they are ignored.

The table order that you specify must ensure referential integrity. This means that if Table1 has a foreign key reference to Table2, then Table2 must be uploaded before Table1. If you do not specify tables in the appropriate order, an error occurs, except in the two following cases:

If you do not specify TableOrder, then dbmlsync chooses an order that satisfies referential integrity.

The order of tables on the download is the same as the upload. Control of the upload table order may make writing server side scripts simpler, especially if the remote and consolidated databases have different foreign key constraints.

• TableOrderChecking (toc) extended option
• How the upload is processed
• Referential integrity and synchronization

The following dbmlsync command line illustrates how you can set this option when you start dbmlsync:

dbmlsync -e "tor=admin,parent,child"

The following SQL statement illustrates how you can store this option in the database:

CREATE SYNCHRONIZATION SUBSCRIPTION
   TO sales_publication
   FOR ml_user1
   OPTION tor='admin,parent,child';
