quetsion on databroadcasting

Hi,

If I would use two databases ( Oracle and Postgresql ) within the same Servoy server, what will happen
with databroadcasting. I think I heard that this will not always work.

Will the databroadcast stil work in solutions where only one of the two databases is used ?
Will it not work in solutions where both databases are used ?

Or is the only scenario where it will not work when in a form data from both databases is used ?

Regards,

Hi Hans,

When you use 1 Servoy Server with multiple databases (even multiple database servers) then databroadcasting should work fine. It’s the Servoy Server that handles all this.

I am not sure what you mean with solutions not getting a broadcast when they don’t use one or the other database. If a solution is ‘looking’ at the data that is changing then the client will get a databroadcast. If it’s not ‘looking’ at that data then it doesn’t.

Of course using multiple (not-clustered) Servoy servers then you don’t see the changes between those servers. Also when you edit/add data outside of Servoy then Servoy won’t know and thus not broadcast any changes.

Hans,

Data-broadcast is about client A seeing data changes made by client B automatically.
Since a record is only in 1 database (even if you have related data over 2 servers, each of the records are in 1 database)

So, using multiple databases in your server should not affect data broadcast.
