Posted by perallis at March 31. 2009Helow Pawan, below some definitions, see the words in italic to understand the differences:
LOG SHIPPING: Log shipping is a method where transaction logs are automatically
backed up from a primary DB2 server and made accessible to a standby
server. DIFFERENT SERVERS - ALL DATABASE
MIRRORING: Data mirroring is the automatic replication of current data from
your primary site to a secondary site. SAME SERVER - ALL DATABASE
REPLICATION: Data replication is the copying of data from a source table to one or more target tables and synchronizing the changes in the source to the target. DIFFERENT SERVERS OR SAME SERVER - REPLICATION AMONG TABLES.
