Abstract

This paper presents a comparative study of Heterogeneous Tools for Replication in a Distributed System. The specific objectives of the study were to: investigate how to perform heterogeneous replication; analyze the different tools that can be used to achieve heterogeneous replication; and compare these tools with each other. The findings from the study show that tungsten replicator provides a very flexible and cost effective method, whereas the oracle golden gate would be the choice if money is not a hindrance. The MySQL native replication is also good, but lack the dexterity of tungsten replicator and oracle golden gate. By using replication mechanism of the different database system does not bring about high efficiency as it was envisage. The study helps in making sharing and accessing of vital information easy, even if stored in various database systems. This is very good for business all over the world where several organizations need to merge data for one reason or the other.
