Re: Update schema while new data is coming in

RAC has only one database (i,e shared database). The moment you make changes to the schema on one node, all nodes will see the same changes.

  I am guessing that you have 2 databases with bi-directional replication. Are you using streams for synchronizing the data between the two servers? As long as you don't drop/rename objects (i.e tables/columns), it should work. You need to do thorough testing before implementing in production.
