It is possible to change the "master definition site", but generally this would only be done of the original master definition site is "gone", "dead", "lost"...temporary loss of one multi-master site does not mean re-defining the master definition site...unless you need to do repadmin tasks that must be done for the (down) master definition site.

>>2...replicate sequences

I used local sequence on each side the would *not* collide buy using different START and INCREMENT values.

I liked Oracle Multi Master Replication for *simple* TABLE level replication where most or all transaction happen on one node...more than that and the admin of it (any transaction based replication) becomes painful.

Subject: MultiMaster Replication  

I've been reading up on multimaster replication and had a few questions.

1. After the multimaster replication setup there needs to be a master definition site. if the communication breaks between 2 sites will we have to change the master definition site.
2. the tables the i'm trying to replicate have sequences that i need to transform to sequences on the other side.

oracle seems to say its possbile but i cant find an example.

If anyone on the list has had experience with multimaster. if they could drop me an email and we could chat a little bit offline that would be really great.
