The heterogeneous datatype support (HDS) feature in Replication Server version 12.6 supports replication into a non-Sybase replicate database. It requires:
Replication Server system tables (rs_lastcommit and rs_info) created in the non-Sybase database, that support Replication Server functions such as rs_get_lastcommit and rs_get_charset.
Function strings that:
Replace certain language command and stored procedure invocations from the replicate Replication Server, then
Produce operations in the replicate database that emulate the behavior of the commands and stored procedures that would exist in a Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise (ASE) replicate database
Non-Sybase datatypes that do not map directly to Replication Server datatypes (or Sybase ASE datatypes), which must be translated to the appropriate datatypes for replication into the replicate database.
