Database replication / sync

Hi

[Quoted] Although I'm not a db expert I am involved in some conceptional work and dbs are part of it.

I am looking for an elegant way to synchronize two Oracle8 databases. Two concepts I am looking at:

• master db only sends updates to a slave db (master has read write access, slave only read)
• master db and slave db sync (both have read write accesss)

first of all, I have been informed that Oracle-replication is possible by means of Net8 but no routers are allowed in between so a dedicated dial-in would only be possible. can anyone inform me more on this topic.

[Quoted] secondly, is there an easy way to somehow extract all db updates in a compact way so one could send (mail, ftp or whatever) the updates to the slave db where it somehow can be imported.

thanks!
