And after you have left Fantasy Land, take a look at the Oracle strategy for Replication in the white paper Oracle7 Symmetric Replication (part #A13824). It explains in fairly low levels of detail how Oracle's strategy is one that will work, not one that has single points of failure, and doesn't even embrace the most elementary requirements of real businesses.

Oracle7.1 will offer all levels of replication in an automatic, Server-based methodology. No 'add on' servers to buy and maintain, no products that don't really exist yet (see Replication Server, Navigation Server, SQL Server 5, etc), and no company that virtually ignores clients technical support questions.

Whether it be n-way, asynchronous, or hybrid replication, Oracle has the solution you should consider as the standard. Don't let the hype on non-products fool you. Replication Server is a recipe for failure.

Best of Luck,
