This book describes the concepts surrounding replication, the scenarios under which you 62 might choose to use it, and the architectural requirements that a replication application has over a 63 transactional application. 64 </p> 65 <p> 66 This book is aimed at the software engineer responsible for writing a 67 replicated DB application. 68 </p> 69 <p> 70 This book assumes that you have already read and understood the 71 concepts contained in the 72 <span><i class="citetitle">Berkeley DB Getting Started with Transaction Processing</i> guide.</span> 73 74 </p> 75 <div class="sect1" lang="en" xml:lang="en"> 76 <div class="titlepage"> 77 <div> 78 <div> 79 <h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a id="conventions"></a>Conventions Used in this Book</h2> 80 </div> 81 </div> 82 <div></div> 83 </div> 84 <p> 85 The following typographical conventions are used within in this manual: 86 </p> 87 <p> 88 Class names are represented in <tt class="classname">monospaced font</tt>, as are <tt class="methodname">method 89 names</tt>.
