What is SymmetricDS
SymmetricDS is open source software for multi-master database replication, filtered synchronization, or transformation across the network in a heterogeneous environment. It supports multiple subscribers with one direction or bi-directional asynchronous data replication. It uses web and database technologies to replicate tables between relational databases, in near real time if desired. The software was designed to scale for a large number of databases, work across low-bandwidth connections, and withstand periods of network outage.

The new release of SymmetricDS 3.3.5 has just one improvement: support for data replication on SQL-Server 2000. We supported SQL-Server 2005 and newer versions previously. Austin was helping with a deployment that turned out to be on SQL-Server 2000, so he figured out the changes needed to get running on it. We're adding it to the automated integration tests and we'll continue to support it in the future. Here is the Changelog.

SymmetricDS 3.3.4 was released with 4 bug fixes. A fix was made to the sync keys feature that was affecting SQL-Server. Sync keys lets you specify the columns to use for identifying a unique row. On SQL-Server, updates to sync key columns were not being captured because of the way its triggers work at the statement level. The sync keys code was in the SymmetricDS engine, and it was fixed to also be inside the triggers. The SQLite dialect had two fixes around automatically creating tables: A transaction lock from multiple threads was avoided, and the default value of current_timestamp on timestamp columns was fixed. Also see the Changelog.

The database dialect is the software layer in SymmetricDS that contains routines specific to a database platform. SymmetricDS implements data replication using a general architecture that works across platforms. When a task needs specific details for a database, it calls the database dialect to perform them. Examples of database-specific tasks handled by the dialect are installing triggers, querying metadata, and altering tables. By writing an implementation for the dialect interfaces, support for a new database can be added to SymmetricDS.
