Access replicated DB environment via SQL/sqlite/ODBC/JDBC interfaces

Question

I'm wondering whether replicated DB environments can be also accessd via the SQL (sqlite, ODBC and JDBC) interfaces?
How to deal with the DB_ENV->rep...() methods in this case?
Is it actually necessary to share my DB_ENV poiner (which I setup for replication using the rep...() APIs as needed) somehow with the sqlite lib in order that DB operations issued via the sqlite interfaces are replicated too?
Or can the sqlite lib still partitipate in replication even if it uses its own private DB_ENV instance (which is not initialized in a special way for replication with the rep...() APIs)?

Answer 1

In the recently released Berkeley DB 11.2.5.1, we offer a new command line utility called db_replicate. It is run in its own process and adds replication capabilities to an existing Transactional Data Store (TDS) application. The existing TDS application can be an application implemented with the BDB SQL API.
The db_replicate utility's process performs all replication functions. Therefore, you don't need to make the DB_ENV->rep* calls elsewhere in your application or worry about sharing an environment handle. db_replicate will replicate the results of the BDB SQL API operations that your application performs in its own processes. If you are interested in learning more about db_replicate, you can read the new section "Running Replication using the db_replicate Utility" in the Replication chapter of the Reference Guide.
In our prior release 11.2.5.0, we did not yet offer any support for the use of replication with an application using the BDB SQL API.
