Take a look at Praxis International (http://www.praxising.com). Their
OmniReplicator supports data change replication among Oracle, Sybase and
Informix (as well as Microsoft SQL Server and DB2). It can provide
update-anywhere replication with data collision detection and
resolution.
Their OmniCopy provides automated and networked snapshot copy
distribution, with the same DBMS support list.
Both OmniReplicator and OmniCopy can partition data (column and row
selection) and transform it,
They share a common graphical user interface and a common repository of
partitioning, enhancement and other data movement rules. So, if you use
OmniCopy to initialize a new replica and OmniReplicator to keep it
up-to-date, you're ensured of consistency and you only have to define
the rules once.
