Sybase DC38133-01-0902-01 specification

☞ For information on creating replication deﬁnitions with no materialization, see the Replication Server Administration Guide. The section in Chapter 10, Managing Subscriptions entitled Bulk Materialization describes how to set up Replication Server for the case where data exists at a remote database.

6.Deﬁne, activate, and validate replication deﬁnitions and subscriptions for the tables in your database that need to be replicated by SQL Remote. These must be created without materialization.
