As we create DBLX on different mobile platforms, it becomes clear that we need some type of server table replication.
This can be used for a number of purposes, including the actual replication of the database server state to a second, backup db server.
If this is done correctly, we can also use the feature to replicate a server database to a mobile device. Once the mobile device has the database(s) it can use them for an application and not need to keep a connection to a remote DB server.
We will also need to add the ability to configure a set of tables as an 'application'. By having a way to find sets of tables that are related to an application, we can have the replication process copy down all the tables in a given set. This would allow mobile apps to call a DBLX server and ask for all the tables for an application.
The team will attempt to get this feature set into DBLX 1.5. More details will follow.
