Medical Information System (MIS), as any other information system (IS), can be based on centralized or distributed database management system. It is much easier to implement and to administer centralized system, but the benefits of distributed over centralized architecture in our case were crucial. However, database replication in distributed MIS represents a significant problem. All well-known database replications are platform-dependent, and when it comes to the possible platform migration, a huge problem of setting replication on different platforms is born. This paper describes one platform independent - information system dependent database replication solution, that can enable fast replication even in low-band/low-speed internet connections.
