Hello,

I have a fundamental doubt regarding replication in databases.

If the isolation level is set to Serializable, why cant we just ship the transaction statements from the master to the backup and replay those transactions. Why do we adopt complicated solutions like log shipping and all such kind of things for replicating databases.

Thanks,
