The file contains an evaluation version of the component set (IDE must be open).

Key features of CopyCat:

• Full two-way replication.
• Royalty-free Delphi / C++Builder component set.
• CopyCat was designed to handle even highly complex databases, without requiring any structural unheavals.
• Independant of the data-connectivity components: adapters can be written to enable interaction with any Interbase/FireBird data-access components. Currently supported are FIBPlus and IBX.
• No server-side is needed: thus CopyCat can be used on any MS Windows client, regardless of the OS of the remote server.
• Configuration of which tables are to be replicated: it is not necessary to synchronize the whole database.
• Advanced primary key synchronization techniques (using either a generator, a stored procedure, or a custom SQL expression).
• Advanced conflict management techniques, allowing you to completely avoid any risk of crushing any data, if there were changes for the same record on both databases.
• Stored procedure "replication".
• Designed for and tested with Interbase 6.0.
• Currently tested with C++Builder 5, C++Builder 6, and Delphi 7.

• Support for limiting the replication of certain tables using a customized WHERE clause.
• Automatic conflict resolving, based on a user precedance hierachy.
• Client/Server HTTP-based replication protocol, supporting data compression and encryption.
• Record merging upon conflict.
• Support for other databases (NexusDB, MySQL, PostgresSQL, MSSQL, etc).
• Heterogeneous database replication # it will be possible to replicate between different types of databases or data access components, in a completely transparent fashion.
• More data-connectivity components: UIB (soon!), IBO, ZEOS, BDE (anyone need this one?)
