Showing 350

Data Execution Prevention (DEP) disabled

Allow replication from Kafka as a source

It would be good to support replications from Kafka as a source to other targets. This idea might sound strange if this were the only replication happening, but this could be part of a "cascading" replication, e.g. if data is replicated from Db2 t...

Add a Feature to Replicate Microseconds Portion of Timestamp
