Considerations for Offline-Only Synchronization

Note

The following information is included as reference for existing applications that support offline scenarios only. For developing new applications, please see Architecture and Classes for Database Synchronization.

The topics in this section describe areas that you should consider when you are designing and deploying applications that use Sync Framework database providers in offline scenarios.

In This Section

• Client and Server Database Objects Supported by Sync Framework
  Describes the types of objects that you can synchronize.

• Working with Table Schemas in the Client Database
  Describes the types of schema changes that are supported, and how Sync Framework handles differences between server and client schemas.

• Deploying and Versioning Applications
  Describes how applications are deployed and initialized, and how to handle schema changes and multiple application versions.

• Client and Server Database Connections
  Describes how connections are made during synchronization.
