Re: technical review of Oracle replication

        Try the September 1993 issue of "Network Computing", it has several articles on data replication and competing products from Sybase, Informix, Oracle, and Ingres.

        Why don't you take a look at Sybase's Replication Server too? I think you will like it best....
