RE: Replication?

Okay,

You could do a count of the local table before you begin to verify you got all of the rows before you start popul. into MAINTAB.

You could use relication but it's not absolutely necessary. You could do something like this

On Server:
Run a query: SELECT * FROM MAINTAB
If they like it, issue INSERT INTO LOCALTAB_at_LOCALMACHINE SELECT * FROM MAINTAB;
OR From the local machine : INSERT /*+ APPEND */ INTO LOCALTAB SELECT * FROM MAINTAB;
When done with the edits, you can merge with the main table. If the changes are exclusively done by a single user, you could - delete the records from MAINTAB
- and, insert /*+ APPEND */ into MAINTAB select * from LOCALTAB_at_LOCALMACHINE.
If that's not possible, use a simple PL/SQL block to read the localtab and insert/update/delete the MAINTAB.

This operation will be much simpler than replication.
