Apparatus, system, and method for synchronizing a remote database

A computer program product comprising a computer useable medium having a computer readable program, wherein the computer readable program when executed on a computer causes the computer to:

• monitor an update from a database application to a primary table of a primary database as the update is communicated through an application server, wherein the application server is configured to manage access to the primary database by the database application;
• construct a SQL command in text format that is equivalent to the update;
• and
• apply the SQL command to a backup table of a backup database, wherein the backup table is a logical mirror image of the primary table prior to the application of the update to the primary table.

A system to synchronize a remote database, the system comprising:

• a primary data processing system comprising
• an application server configured to manage access to a primary database;
• a database application configured to access the primary database through the application server;
• the application server further comprising
• a monitor module configured to monitor an update from the database application to a primary table of the primary database as the update is communicated through the application server;
• a construction module configured to construct a SQL command in text format that is equivalent to the update;
• a remote data processing system comprising
• an update module configured to apply the SQL command to a backup table of a backup database, wherein the backup table is a logical mirror image of the primary table prior to the application of the update to the primary table;
• and
• a verification module configured to verify that the SQL command is successfully applied to the backup table.

A method for deploying computer infrastructure, comprising integrating computer-readable code into a computing system, wherein the code in combination with the computing system is capable of performing the following:

• monitoring an update from a database application to a primary table of a primary database as the update is communicated through an application server, wherein the application server is configured to manage access to the primary database by the database application;
• constructing a SQL command in text format that is equivalent to the update;
• applying the SQL command to a backup table of a backup database, wherein the backup table is a logical mirror image of the primary table prior to the application of the update;
• verifying that the SQL command is successfully applied to the backup table;
• and
• mitigating an unsuccessful application of the SQL command.
