I'd be interested if you DID find anything about automatic (which I assume is
what you meant by automized) conflict resolution. Conflict DETECTION is
automatic, conflict RESOLUTION is not. Conflict resolution requires you to make
a decision on who should win. To allow Oracle to do that automatically assumes
Oracle knows who should win, which is never the case. What we provide instead
is up to 8 (IIRC) conflict resolution methodologies that you can specify
(LATEST/EARLIEST TIMESTAMP and so on) Oracle to apply automatically, but you
have to do the specifying first.
