DBMS_REPCAT.DEFINE_PRIORITY_GROUP

Synopsis

The DEFINE_PRIORITY_GROUP procedure creates a new priority group. The new group does not take effect until you call GENERATE_REPLICATION_SUPPORT for the table. The specifications differ for Oracle7 and Oracle8 as follows.

Oracle7 specification:

PROCEDURE DBMS_REPCAT.DEFINE_PRIORITY_GROUP
   (gname IN VARCHAR2 := '',
    pgroup IN VARCHAR2,
    datatype IN VARCHAR2,
    fixed_length IN INTEGER := NULL,
    comment IN VARCHAR2 := NULL,
    sname IN VARCHAR2 := '');

Oracle8 specification:

PROCEDURE DBMS_REPCAT.DEFINE_PRIORITY_GROUP
   (gname IN VARCHAR2 := '',
    pgroup IN VARCHAR2,
    datatype IN VARCHAR2,
    fixed_length IN INTEGER := NULL,
    comment IN VARCHAR2 := NULL);
