I have task in regards of synchronization of databases.
Scenario is: I have 4 databases and 1 web server.
When ever I lost connection due to any reason from any database, I want to
switch automatically to other databases which are synchronizing each others.

One other thing is, how I can synchronize these all database to each other.

Can any one give me any idea or help in this regards I will be very thank
full.

Hi

Look at Merge Replication. Lots about it in BOL and www.microsoft.com/sql
Creates quite a bit of overhead.

If you are looking at high availability, how about some more web servers?
Does not help having a DB available when a Web Server is down.
Web servers can be load balanced (if the web site is coded in a way to
support it) and database servers can be clustered.

Look on http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/default.mspx for the
technologies "clustering" and "load balancing".

Than you for your reply Mike,

Basically, I want real time switching of database from web server when ever
I lost running database connection so, I want web server to redirect
automatically to the other database that is running on other server for high
availability of database.

Web server is not down but the connection between database server and web
server has been broken.

Have any idea or third party tools those provide these services.

Hi

For SQL 2000, Windows Clustering will do the trick, for SQL Server 2005,
database mirroring would be the perfect solution.
