Oracle Advanced Replication
All this talk of replication is really nice.
SharePlex for Oracle, can handle master to master replication.
Conflicts are handled via pl/sql procedures inside the database, where you can
determine exactly what happens when there is a conflict. SharePlex performs
really well whether it is a batch program doing massive DML operations, or
many small OLTP type transactions. SharePlex can handle around 300-500
DML operations per second in most situations... more if the hardware and
database are tuned properly.
As for failover, it works VERY well, and can handle many of
the datatypes that trigger based replication can not support. LONGs and
LONG RAWs especially... One other thing SharePlex can replicate are
sequences. If you have sequences that generate PK's or unique keys, then
you should probably replicate them, otherwise after a failure, you will have
to find out what the highest value for those sequences are for each of your
tables, and then rebuild all the sequences. This can take a long time, even on
a medium sized database.
Just a couple of things to think over, when selecting a
replication product.
Nick

Pete,
I've implemented a very similar solution recently for
BEA-based application. Two database servers,
Multi-master replication between two databases, 1 <FONT
size=2>minute propagation interval. Works great on our hardware, which was
designed for the purpose and is pretty fast. Small
transactions - OLTP stuff - seem to replicate well.
The same can not be said for large DML operations. So <FONT
size=2>far, I've been unable to tune replication so that it is capable
of propagated batch type changes for large amounts of
data - the receiving site seems to be converting the
DML based on internal algorithm, which throws my <FONT
size=2>indexing approach out of the window. Oracle Support has been of no
help, other then suggesting different indexing for
failover site.

We are looking at Advanced Replication as a fail over
option for a web site. Straight forward
installation, both boxes on the same subnet on their
own dmz. The servers will be located on the same rack
in the computer room. Very few tables storing data
from an application that is tracking click through
data.
Does anyone see any flaws with the basic plan?
Any hidden 'features' that we may run into?
Thanks
