Dml replication with logical log shipping

A computer-readable storage medium storing computer-executable instructions for causing a computing device to execute a method for performing replication within a database environment using data manipulation language (DML) statements and logical logs, the method comprising:

• for each of a plurality of DML statements:
• receiving the DML statement;
• executing the DML statement;
• creating a logical log comprising the DML statement;
• and
• inserting the logical log into a logical log queue;
• grouping the plurality of logical logs in the logical log queue into one or more logical log groups based at least in part upon database tables replicated by each of a plurality of slave nodes;
• and
• for each of the logical log groups, sending the logical log group to one or more slave nodes, of the plurality of slave nodes, that are associated with the logical log group for execution of the DML statements in the logical log group.

A database environment comprising:

• a master node;
• and
• a plurality of slave nodes;
• the database environment configured to perform operations for replicating database information using data manipulation language (DML) statements and logical logs, the operations comprising:
• at the master node:
• receiving a DML statement;
• executing the DML statement;
• creating a logical log comprising the DML statement;
• inserting the logical log into a logical log queue;
• and
• sending the logical log from the logical log queue to at least one slave node of the plurality of slave nodes for execution of the DML statement at the at least one slave node;
• and
• by the at least one slave node:
• receiving the logical log;
• and
• executing the DML statement contained in the logical log.
