About Replication

This book contains a substantial amount of detail about Oracle’s advanced replication facilities. Most of this information has been obtained through several real-world implementations, and my advice is based on experiences and situations that are, for the most part, not addressed in Oracle’s documentation.

In addition to sharing the benefit of my experience, this book tries to convey a fundamental understanding of how the advanced replication facilities actually work. I describe its underpinnings, its limitations, and how to use it successfully to solve a variety of problems.

One thing this book does not attempt to describe is Oracle’s GUI tool—Replication Manager. Although this tool may be useful for the administration of a pre-existing, stable environment, using it does not give you any insight into how replication works or into the viability of your environment. In addition, the tool is not very useful for solving the inevitable problems that arise in a replicated environment. If you are interested in using Oracle’s Replication Manager, we refer you to the Oracle8 Server Replication Guide.
