Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: "Oracle Streams" by Madhu Tumma
Nope I disagree with your comment on Streams being an alternative to RAC. Nor is advanced rep. They solve totally different problems – RAC is for protection from machine failure (and scalability on the other side of the equation), Streams and advanced replication are for data distribution and protection from site failure (this last aspect also being something that DataGuard resolves). Some people (who I also disagree with) are saying that RAC with extended clusters can solve the site failure issue as well. So if anything, there is a possible argument that RAC can be considered an alternative to Streams, but not the other way around. J

Streams" by Madhu Tumma
Just to add, went briefly through the book - it has just a tad more then what you'll find in manuals.
Not worth your time.
Streams is Oracle's replacement for Advanced Replication. In that sense it can be considered as an alternative to RAC.
I liked it - much easier to setup then AR, good performance in test env.
There is good working example on otn written by Mishra on basic setup.
10g also has dbms_streams.maintain_schema proc that enables simple replication setup for the whole schema in ONE step.

My monitor stand is high enough (including couple books from than publisher already). And more important - no spare time.
