With Oracle 7.3 (enterprise, not Workgroup editions) you can have
updateable snapshots, as well as multi-master replication. Its complicated
to set up--read the manuals very carefully and thoroughly. On some
platforms, Oracle have a tool (Replication Manager) to assist in the setup
and management; its not perfect, alas, but useful.
