RE: What is the cost of replication?

    I'd agree, replication can be a pain when you are first learning how to do it. I've also had some problems with the Replication Manager gui crashing/hanging on me. You might want to spend the extra time and learn how to do everything from the command line. Besides, real dbas don't use guis anyway, right!? Metalink has some good tars that demonstrate command line setup and maintenance....

We have advanced multimaster replication. I have spent about 70% of my time looing into replication related isues.

I came to site with no experience of replication, no documentation about the environment and no transfer of knowledge since the previous dba already
left.

Now this may be because of the database environment we have or because of the way the other things have been set up or because of my relative experience of other things relative to replication...

Replication is painful when things go wrong. Also there are added performance issues.

But now over a period of time, I am used to it and can administer it much
better.

Beware if you are novice.......
