Preparing Data for Replication

The goal of data replication is to provide identical, or at least consistent, data on multiple database servers. This section describes how to prepare the information in your databases for replication.

When you define a new replicate on tables with existing data on different database servers, the data might not be consistent. Similarly, if you add a participant to an existing replicate, you must ensure that all the databases in the replicate have consistent values.
