doubt about Sync Service Philosophy RRS feed

  • Question

  • I've a little uncertainty about ADO.Net Sync services,
    is MSF suitable for synchronizing two Sql Server in bidirectional way ?( not compact edition but normal servers )
    I need to do this type of synchronization by my application not automatic replication from sql server with publisher and subscriptor way.

    And how about synchronizing a Sql Server & a Mysql Database?

  • Synchronize two

    SQL servers: yes. DbSyncProvider in Microsoft.Synchronization.Data.dll in Sync Services ADO.NET is what you should be using

    Regarding MySql database: We havent tried connecting to a MySql database but DbSyncProvider is a generic relational database based provider. So you should be able to use it. We havent tested this combination so do post back if you see any issues.

     

    Access database: Access is a different database in that the change tracking and other stuff is internal to access. DbSyncProvider would not work on top of Access and you would have to write a custom Access provider.
