Name

DBMS_REPCAT.ALTER_MASTER_REPOBJECT

Synopsis

Just as you can propagate DDL to create objects with the EXECUTE_DDL procedure, you can also propagate DDL to alter objects with ALTER_MASTER_REPOBJECT. Unlike EXECUTE_DDL, ALTER_MASTER_REPOBJECT does not allow you to specify a list of master sites; the call affects all masters. In other words, Oracle does not support site-specific customizations of replicated objects.

You can perform DDL on any of these objects:
