Virtual entities

Entities

You learned about Entities handled by Gluesync throught its configuration file, where up until now each entity declaration you made was intended to point the replication engine to a real database table present into your relational database. This concept has been introduced with version 1.3 where we removed this constraint and it is now possible to introduce a concept of virtual entity.
