Abstract

A method, system and computer readable storage medium for replicating database data of heterogeneous data type are disclosed. The method includes determining the data type of an element of heterogeneous data type to be replicated. The element is packed into a predetermined transfer format as an opaque data type, based on the determined data type, and replicated to a replication server. The replication server is instructed to not modify the element noted as opaque.
