But at some time that will be true even if we skip the row based on (a) or (c) right. Suppose the OLD row was not satisfying the condition but the NEW row is satisfying the condition, now even if we skip this operation then in the next operation on the same row even if both OLD and NEW rows are satisfying the filter the operation will just be dropped by the subscriber right? because we did not send the previous row when it first updated to value which were satisfying the condition. So basically, any row is inserted which did not satisfy the condition first then post that no matter how many updates we do to that row either it will be skipped by the publisher because the OLD row was not satisfying the condition or it will be skipped by the subscriber as there was no matching row. > > Maybe a second option is to have replication change any UPDATE into > > either an INSERT or a DELETE, if the old or the new row do not pass the > > filter, respectively. That way, the databases would remain consistent. Yeah, I think this is the best way to keep the data consistent. -- Regards, Dilip Kumar EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com
