He he he: you are right (synchronous/asynchronous).
It seems that a redo based replication is much easier manageable than the
Oracle's replication. (I don't say Oracle replication is bad or something
like that).
If there is anything you know good or bad about this type of tools please let me know: I would like to have all the information handy when I get to present the options.
Thanks a lot Jim.
