Hi All,
I have a few questions about data synchronization. The architecture does not seem to be clear about this:
Does Google Gears provide from automatic synchronization of data (from client to server and server to client)?
If it does provide for automatic data synchronization, then can i write functions to hook into the sync mechanism (on the server and on the client) to control what data is synced?
Is there anyway to partition the data on the server? for example a client should be able to download only those rows in a table which are related to it (for example there is 'hostname' column in the table, and only those rows which contain the hostname of the client trying to download the data should be downloaded to it)
Basically what I am looking for is: does Google Gears Synchronization support the data synchronization features like SQL Server Merge replication? [ http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms152746.aspx ]
