Re: Fake async rep target

Well, I was assuming that there was some intelligence in the receiver 
that could effectively parse this for the application; are you 
suggesting that is effectively binary deltas to apply to raw pages?

Certainly, Sybase rep server works by creating function calls or SQL 
updates (depending on how you set it all up), and a fairly simple parser 
can be used to process the received stream.

I was hoping that the receiver code could be used to at least identify 
which tuples are affected and their before/after primary keys.

Ideally the result would be a packet by transaction, listing the 
impacted tables and for each table a list of affected primary keys and 
whether they were inserted, deleted or updated.
