Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: shareplex: datatype unsupported
The semi official shtick from Quest is that Oracle changes the log file
format rarely because the change ripples through much of the rest of the
server code. Log file format affects archiving and recovery at a pretty
basic level.
As a financials shop, I don't worry too much about keeping up with Oracle. Oracle development can't do that so neither can we.

You know, from a logistics perspective I'm interested in something here that maybe those that use SharePlex can cast some light on.
The only Oracle supported mechanism for mining the redo logs is LogMiner, yes? Now, given that we can change the format of the redo logs from release to release (not sure how granular that goes, so it may even be third digit version changes i.e. something like 8.0.5 to 8.0.6), doesn't it worry you as a SharePlex user that the product may not keep up with changes in the redo log formats and therefore give you garbage? How do you ensure that doesn't happen?
Inquiring minds want to know, and all that...

That goes for Shareplex too (sorry to state the obvious). I've been seriously bitten in recent weeks by problems with their stuff too.

This isn't a direct answer to your question, but make sure you test logical standby thoroughly--I had to abandon the idea of using it due to serious bugs in the apply process, and due to seriously poor performance of the apply process.
