There are several requirements for the installation and implementation of non-ASE support features.
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:
- Replace certain language command and stored procedure
invocations from the replicate Replication Server, then,
- 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.
