Summary

History replication is a type of data replication that historizes changes made to data in the source table and transfers them to the destination table with added validity time frames, useful for tracking changes in financial transactions or security audits. It's particularly suitable when you need to know when and how data has been changed, as it provides versioning information through `fromtimestamp` and `totimestamp` columns. This type of replication is ideal for situations where complete, incremental, or batch updates may not be sufficient due to the risk of outdated information. The CData Virtuality platform implements history replication by adding these timestamp columns to the storage table, allowing users to track changes over time.
