Abstract:
1. A method for replicating database data, comprising: determining, by a processor, a data type for an element of the database data, wherein the element is stored in a database column, and wherein the database column is of an heterogeneous data type; packing, by the processor, the element into a predetermined transfer format, wherein the packing comprises: determining, by the processor, whether replication of the element is supported based on the data type; if the replication of the element is unsupported, checking, by the processor, a parameter in a configuration file, wherein the parameter when set has a first or second value which determines how to proceed if the replication of the element is unsupported; and if the replication of the element is supported, replicating, by the processor, the packed element in the predetermined transfer format.
