Abstract

A database replication method and apparatus for a distributed system are provided and relate to the database field. The method includes: receiving by a coordination server, a timestamp of a multi-partition transaction newly added to a first partition of a secondary cluster; determining, by the coordination server, a target timestamp for the first partition based on the received timestamp of the newly added multi-partition transaction and a stored multi-partition transaction timestamp of each partition of the secondary cluster; and sending, by the coordination server, the target timestamp to the first partition, so that the first partition executes a replication log in the first partition based on the target timestamp. In this way, the corresponding partition can execute, without waiting, a multi-partition transaction that is present in all the partitions but has not been executed, thereby avoiding data inconsistency and increasing replication efficiency.
