I'm curious, based on a discussion I had with a DBA here at work, how many people use the replication features of Oracle. I often see replication listed as one of the selling points of Oracle, but it's also very hard to get a class on replication because they are always closing classes for poor registration.

How common is replication (basic or advanced)? It makes more sense to use simple snapshots than DB links for what we are doing, but given that our support from Oracle has been TERRIBLE with snapshot problems, I now wonder if anyone uses them. We are switching to db links, but that can pose potential performance issues with, for example, joins across the db link.

Best,
