What are the different replication techniques in data management?

There are several replication techniques, including full, incremental, and differential replication. Would you like to know more about each?

Yes, please explain full and incremental replication.

Full replication involves copying all data from the source to the target, while incremental replication only copies changes made since the last replication. This makes incremental replication faster and uses less bandwidth.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of each technique?

Full replication ensures data consistency but can be time-consuming and resource-intensive. Incremental replication is efficient but may lead to inconsistencies if not managed properly.

Are there specific use cases for each technique?

Yes, full replication is often used for initial data migrations, while incremental replication is ideal for ongoing data synchronization in real-time applications.
