Synchronization algorithm for remote heterogeneous database environment

Inconsistencies and lack of uniformity of data and its structure is a deep-seated problem of data synchronization in heterogeneous database environment. In this paper, we proposed a model and a unique algorithm to synchronize data between heterogeneous databases, in order to provide alternative sync...

Inconsistencies and lack of uniformity of data and its structure is a deep-seated problem of data synchronization in heterogeneous database environment. In this paper, we proposed a model and a unique algorithm to synchronize data between heterogeneous databases, in order to provide alternative synchronization paths, concurrency in operation and bidirectional mode of data exchange. To achieve this feat, three separate algorithms are generated. In addition, jQuery technology is adopted to determine the active path, and the data is transmitted via web service that operates on XML technology over HTTP protocol. The model is independent of any database vendor or proprietary solutions and can be adapted to any database or platform.
