Ron,
if you have lot of tables or, if you have lot of DDL changes on the objects which you want to replicate, don't do it. It's very difficult to maintain it and every time you do DDL on these objects, you have to suspend replication (which isn't always possible and easy for that meter). Prior to 8.1.7 Multimaster Replication had lot of bugs (I had unpleasant experiences with that)!!

HTH,
Sonja

We have a small but critical application running on NT. The user wants to implement replication. We have never done replication for Oracle. Can someone give me an idea of how much difficult it is to maintain a replicated database on NT. How much of my time will I need to allocate to keeping everything working?
