View generation order

[Martin Hewitt <ma...@gmail.com>]

Hi all,

When generating a view on a replicated db, what's the heuristic used to work out where seq 1 is? Does it come over as part of the replication payload?

Say, for example, a large database is replicated onto a new server, and the views begin to re-generate, is there any way I as a developer can know which record the view generation process will start with? Better still, is there any way I can influence it?

Thanks,

Martin

Views are built in database sequence order by walking the by_seq tree.
What's probably confusing you is that, because the replicator can
replicate in parallel, the order of updates in the target is usually
not the same as the source.
