This section describes some model variations and other strategies you can use to implement your replication system design. They are:
Multiple replication definitions – a strategy using multiple replication definitions for a primary table to specify different table names, column sets, and column names, thereby presenting differing views of the primary table to subscribing replicate tables
Publications – a strategy that allows users to subscribe to a set of replication definitions with a single subscription
Pending tables – a strategy used with request functions that allows users to see the results of updates to primary data before the update has been returned to the replicate site
Implementing master/detail relationships – uses request functions and stored procedures to ensure proper subscription migration
