Tungsten Replicator

Tungsten Replicator is a super flexible tool that helps with lots of database issues. Here are some cool things it can do:

Boosting Availability

If your main database goes down, the replicator can switch to a backup, or slave database, so your data is always there when you need it.

Performance Scaling

It spreads out read requests across multiple copies of your data. This means faster access and less stress on any one database.

Cross-Site Clustering

You can keep active replicas of your database across different locations, even if they’re far apart. That’s pretty neat!

Change Data Capture

The replicator helps in getting changes from one place to another. It’s great for loading data warehouses or updating other systems.

Zero Downtime Upgrade

You can upgrade a slave server while it’s still working. Once it’s ready, it can take over as the master without any downtime!

Flexible Architecture

The architecture of Tungsten Replicator makes it easy to add new databases whenever you want. It has cool pluggable extractor and applier modules that help move data from master to slave smoothly.

Special Features for Better Use

• All replicated changes come with transaction IDs and are logged in a way that's identical for each server. This makes switching roles between master and slave super easy.
• Smooth processes are in place for both planned and unplanned failovers.
• You’ll find built-in consistency check tables that let you verify table consistency without stopping replication or applications.
• The replicator supports both statement-based and row-based replication.
• You have hooks available for transforming data when replicating between different types of databases.
