Re: Hw is Sharelex ?

Chiku,

We are using it.

I think you need to have a good foundation in the concepts of database replication before attempting to work with any replication solution. I would strongly recommend that before any replication solution is implemented, the DBA should sit down with the business leaders and require them to determine what is required (reporting, failover, backups, etc.) BEFORE any specific technology is discussed. From that point, you can make a decision on product and technology that will meet the needs of your business.

I don't think a person should be so focused on replication that they don't work on databases, as many replication decisions need to be addressed in the database. I also think in many companies, there is not enough replication to require a dedicated resource and they would be better off having 2 people working on replication AND other database tasks. This provides human "fail-over" to allow people time off for a personal life which might put the company at risk if THE replication dba is scuba diving for a week in Mexico and a failover needs to happen or replication problems start happening.
