Bill,

    I'm in the initial stages of researching Oracle Streams as well. And like most people, I'm skeptical about jumping in and using a new Oracle feature. Did you get any useful responses? Anything about performance, maintainability, etc?

    Does anyone else have experiences they can share?

Thanks,

Alan

Hello,

env: Oracle 9.2.0.3 on Solaris.
I am looking for any comments, good or bad, regarding Oracle Streams. We are considering using this to transfer data between some 9.2 databases on multiple Sun machines, and hope that someone would share their experience with us. Our rationale for using this as opposed to other replication methods is:

1) streams uses log-based capture
2) captures DDL and DML
3) appears to be Oracle's future direction

I have scanned the Oracle Streams documentation. A google search and a Technet search turned up a few (mainly non-technical) papers. I could not find any books on this subject.

I have just vague questions at this point: 1) Are the Oracle docs a good source for setting this up? Do they omit

   any important information?

2) Are there any additional sources of helpful information?
3) Did you encounter any unexpected problems when configuring this tool?
4) Can you provider any measure (subjective is fine) of performance?
5) How painful is this to maintain?

Thanks for any responses.
