I understand that a multimaster replication model can be
created and that updateable snapshots can be taken from any member of
the multimaster set. However I believe that all the multimaster
instances must be identical. I would like to create a central master
database with partial replication (subsets of the same set of tables)
to independent databases. The central master would be at head office
and the partial replications (updateable snapshots) would be district
offices which only require data for their own territories. From these
district databases (the updateable snapshots) I would like to take
further updateable snapshots (further subsets of data) for use by
planners to create what-if variations. Is this possible: to take an
updateable snapshot from an updateable snapshot? Is there someother
way to accomplish this? Thanks in advance.
