Yes, Oracle 7.3.1 does have it -- It is called ADVANCED REPLICATION

If you do not have experience with it, then I will suggest taking the oracle class -- there is far much more to it than simply turning replication on and setting up the groups. Conflict resolution and reinstantation processed require a great deal of thought. Without the thought behind it, you can easy end up with diverent databases (ie: garbage!)

Replication was the best Oracle Class I ever took.
