What is Data Replication?

Businesses want real-time updates to their data, but they don't want to tie up the application systems that create that data, because it slows down the organization's core processes. This video discusses how Data Replication mediates this paradox.

The short answer is yes. However, its important to realize that the data will be an exact copy of what was in the source. So if there is logic that is inferred outside of that database system it won't be included in the transfer. So some consideration needs to be taken regarding what is being done with the data.

Is replication ever used for data sharing? For example, two government agencies that share certain data usually build a complex and expensive integration solution for data sharing. To me this seems superfluous as the master data could simply be replicated.
