Specifies that Replication Option create a replication database at the target site. When a replication transfer executes, Replication Option creates a database at the target site during the initial execution and maintains a connection to that target database so the source can supply updates to the target. Subsequent transfers involve only those modifications that have been made to the selected records in the source database. (If the target and source database should become inconsistent with each other, you can use the REINITIALIZE TRANSFER statement to restore consistency.) In addition, the execution of a replication transfer generally creates special-purpose relations in the source database and the target database to handle updating. Because the source database is modified with the addition of these system relations, the transfer definer's account needs the DEFINE access right to the source database itself. Users are expected to access the replication target database only to retrieve data. Applications should not attempt to store, modify, or erase values in records of the replication database. Although data values should not be manipulated in a replication database, you can modify the target database by defining views and indexes, and adding access rights.
