Creating Snapshot

Snapshot

Snapshot replicating tables on remote locations.

E.g. In Rawalpindi on DBSVR create Snapshot for remote

account table in KARACHI.

Snapshot is created same as we create VIEW of a table, but the

difference is that any DML operation on BASE table will not
effect snapshot.

It is useful when we are not changing data in the base table.
