- 19. Change Views
- 20. What is Change Views? A “subscription based” model to “subscribe” to data and identify what data has changed in the database. Subscriptions can run both: • During a connection • Spanning connections and time Each subscriber can have multiple devices that are each subscribed
- 23. 5 Benefits to Using Change Tracking ● Reduce costs and disk I/O by minimizing data syncs on mobile devices ● No impact on performance ● No external log tables ● Scalability of users ● Track the changes the way you want Briefcase models just got a boost, when change views syncs only the changes between local and server databases keeping data accurate and current!
- 24. How Does it Work? • Create a subscription to specific data that can allow you to identify at the column and field level what data has been changed • Multiple users can subscribe to the same subscription configuration • A subscription can be any mix of tables/columns • Each user can subscribe multiple devices with their own tracking IDs • CV reports back what others have changed, not your changes • You don’t need to stay connected since it runs across connections • Included with all IB licenses, not including the IBLite edition
- 25. Creating a Change View When in IBConsole, click on Subscriptions and Create Subscription adding in details or in ISQL add the following code changing your tables names: CREATE SUBSCRIPTION "SUB_MEDICINEUPDATES" ON "CATEGORY" FOR ROW (INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE), "MEDICINE" FOR ROW (INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE), "MEDICINE_CATEGORIES" FOR ROW (INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE) DESCRIPTION 'Track inserts, updates and deletes to medicine data'; Privileges for accessing tables GRANT SUBSCRIBE ON SUBSCRIPTION <subscription_name> TO <user_name> REVOKE SUBSCRIBE ON SUBSCRIPTION <subscription_name> TO <user_name> More information: http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/InterBase/en/Change_Views
