BYTE and TEXT Information in RIS Files

When the information recorded in the RIS file includes BYTE or TEXT data, the RRD information is reported as the following examples show.

Example 1

<1200, TEXT, PB 877(necromsv) 840338515(00/08/17 20:21:55)>

In this example:

• 1200 is the size of the TEXT data.
• TEXT is the data type (it is either BYTE or TEXT).
• PB is the storage type (PB for storage in the tablespace, BB for blobspace storage).
• The next two fields are the server identifier and the time stamp for the column if the conflict-resolution rule is defined for this replicate and the column is stored in a blobspace.

Example 2

<500 (NoChange), TEXT, PB 877(necromsv) 840338478(0000/08/17 20:21:18)>

In this example, (NoChange) after 500 indicates the TEXT data has size of 500 but the data has not been changed on the source server. Therefore the data is not sent from the source server.
