Hi,

We are using oracle to store data that is replicated among a number of different sites across Europe. Data is replicated asynchonously (1 time per day) over simple database links over IP, using our own pl/sql procedures.
This works most of the time, but the whole thing gets locked up often as well, requiring us to reset database connections or even restart the server.

My question is: are oracle and sql*net usable on low-bandwidth, unreliable internet connections? Is oracle actually used by other projects in this way? Or are we just naive to try this?

Any input welcome.

Greetings,
