Re: Purging database question

Deepak,

Didn't really understand your question. Why do you need a tool to purge the data?
Sounds like SQLPlus would work. Purge database a, don't purge database b.

Unless maybe you mean a tool to keep the dbs in sync, like Oracle Replication.
You can use that, and you write procedures to do the purge, and make sure that
those aren't replicated. I did something similar for a client and it was pretty
complicated, (and it won't be supported by Oracle,) so make sure you want to
go there. Then, go get a consultant.

hth,
