Assigning Resolution Methods with DBMS_REPCAT

Once you have configured your column, priority, and/or site priority groups, you can assign conflict resolution techniques to your replicated tables.

About Resolution Methods

In addition to column groups, priority groups, and site priority groups, the advanced replication option includes eleven other built-in resolution methods to handle update and uniqueness conflicts (see Table 16.14). You can also write your own resolution handlers. In particular, if you require a delete conflict handler, you must write your own because Oracle does not supply one.
