1. A computer-implemented method for hybrid data replication in a database system environment, the method comprising: identifying a type of database data replication, the type including a combination of replication approaches; and managing replication based on the identified type, including coordinated switching from one replication approach of the combination of replication approaches to another automatically using replication process marker signaling for auto-switching activities to occur during the replication with transactional consistency maintained among source and target databases.
