To replicate a database across multiple servers, you would need to set up a master server with the database, and then set up replication on the other servers. This would allow the other servers to have copies of the database, which would be updated whenever the master server's database is updated.
About this solution: The candidate's solution is incomplete. It does not address how to keep the databases in sync or how to handle write conflicts. Additionally, the candidate does not mention any performance implications of this solution.

This technical problem involves writing a SQL query to find the total number of items ordered for each order in a database. The database consists of two tables, "orders" and "order_items ". The "orders" table includes the order_id for each order, while the "order_items" table includes the order_id and the number of items ordered for that particular order. The expected output is a table that lists the order_id and the total number of items ordered for each order.
