Oracle7: Real automatic 2phase commits? or else?

I recently read an article critiquing several large database server vendors (Ingres, Informix, Oracle, Sybase, & Cincom). In regards to automatic 2PC, the article indicated that some (Oracle 7, Sybase S10, and Cincom Supraserver) of the server products didn't have 'real' 2PC. The explanation was that they each provided their functionality through some use of replication services. Now, the Oracle7 marketing whizzes all say that replication server products are bad; so the question is 'Do they or don't they?'. This was one of the main points that Oracle made during a recent 'seminar'. They kept saying how bad Sybase System 10 was going to be because it didn't have 'real' 2PC because it uses a replication server.

Curiously yours,
Mark..
