This section describes the replicate database issues and considerations specific to the Microsoft SQL Server data server in a Sybase replication system.
As a replicate data server, Microsoft SQL Server interacts with the ECDA Option for ODBC database gateway. The ECDA Option for ODBC server is responsible for accepting commands from the replicate Replication Server, and applying those commands to a Microsoft SQL Server database.
ECDA Option for ODBC supports replication of large object
(LOB) datatypes (image, ntext,
and text) from Replication Server directly
to a Microsoft SQL Server database.
