Lesson 2: Creating and configuring the remote database

This lesson assumes you have completed all preceding lessons. See Lesson 1: Creating and configuring the consolidated database.

In this lesson, you set up a remote database for synchronization.

 Create and configure a remote database
  1. Run the following commands to create and start a remote database.

    cd..
    md c:\remote
    cd c:\remote
    dbinit remote.db
    dbeng12 remote.db
  2. Open another instance of Interactive SQL and connect to remote.db.

    dbisql -c "SERVER=remote;DBF=remote.db;UID=DBA;PWD=sql"
  3. Execute the following SQL statement in Interactive SQL to create the table to be synchronized.

    CREATE TABLE customer (
       id      unsigned integer primary key,
       name    varchar( 256),
       phone   varchar( 12 )
    );
  4. Create a publication, MobiLink user, and subscription.



    CREATE PUBLICATION p1 (
       TABLE customer
    );
    
    CREATE SYNCHRONIZATION USER u1;
    
    CREATE SYNCHRONIZATION SUBSCRIPTION my_sub
    TO p1
    FOR u1
    OPTION ScriptVersion='my_ver1';

    After you have executed the SQL statements, leave Interactive SQL running and connected to the database as you will be running more SQL statements on the database as you work through the tutorial.

  5. Proceed to Lesson 3: Synchronizing the remote database.
