Hi friends,

I'm doing a project regarding automatic fail-over of a POS system.
i.e. When there is no connection between the server machine, the particular POS machine should become as the server.
To enable that feature, I've try to create a database, which is a copy of a server database and then each and every transaction must be sync to the created database. This database should be created when I started the POS system.

Can anyone suggest me the way of doing this?

Thanks in advance

Do you mean Point-Of-Sale system?
Do you want to install MS SQL server on every PC station?

yes Point-Of-Sales system.
The requirement is automatically getting a backup or copy of a central server (Server PC) database and stores or restores it in the local machine (Point-Of-Sales machine). Then each and every transaction in the central database should be reflected in the local database of the POS machine. When the connection is lost to the server machine then the Client machine(Point-Of-Sales pc) will act as the server.

Have you ever heard about Database Mirroring (SQL Server)[^]?
