Distributed database replicator without locking base relations

A replication server is considered to be one of the most effective tools to cope with the problems that may be caused by the complex data replications in distributed database systems. In the distributed environment, locking a table is inevitable and it is the main reason to coerce the system practically. This paper presents an Asynchronous Replicator Scheme (ARS) that basically utilizes the system log as files named differential files to refresh the distributed data files with complicated queries, and that it prevents (normally, huge) base tables from being locked. We take join operations as the complicated queries, not only because the join operation covers almost all the operations, but also because it is one of the most time-consuming and data intensive operations in query processings.
