Abstract

This chapter provides an in-depth introduction to database replication, in particular how transactions are executed in a replicated environment. We describe a suite of replication protocols and illustrate the design alternatives using a two-step approach. We first categorize replication protocols by only two parameters and present a simple example protocol for each of the resulting categories. Further parameters are then introduced, and we illustrate them by the given replication protocols and some variants.
