Is n't SharePlex more like Oracle9i logical standby dataguard than physical syandby data guard. If I am not mistaken, SharePlex like Oracle has limitaions that some types cannot be replicated, i.e., long or anything defined using create type.

Does SharePlex have anything like Oracle's physical standby where everything can be replicated. Received on Mon Aug 16 2004 - 12:42:28 CDT
