EQL vs. Access Replication

Question

How is EQL different from the built-in replication in Access?

Answer

EQL Data takes advantage of faster computers, faster Internet connections, and some clever technology to make database replication as simple as possible.

Some advantages of EQL Data over built-in replication:

  • There's no programming required.
  • You don't need to set up a server.
  • EQL works automatically though firewalls; no need for a VPN or terminal server.
  • There is no complicated administration of master/slave or design replicas.
  • EQL works fine with both GUID-based and integer-based keys.
  • EQL can make your data available in a web browser as well as through Access.
  • EQL keeps backups of old versions of your database, so you can always recover them, no matter what happens, as well as go back to any earlier version.
