Paul - The only book I've found specific to Oracle replication is: Oracle Distributed Systems by Charles Dye. It is pretty good. Replication isn't the easiest thing to learn.

        The fundamental questions to ask are: is your application designed to work with replication? Are you just trying to replicate for reporting purposes?

Hi folks,

we've never identified any requirement here for using any kind of replication. Consequently I know nothing whatsoever about Oracle Replication. Now I've been asked whether or not we use Oracle Replication and, if so, whether it can be disabled. So can anyone tell me whether Replication is a feature automatically included in Oracle 8i Enterprise Edition? And is there an easy way of telling whether or not it's "on"? If it's "on", can it be turned "off" (if that's a meaningful question!), and if so, how?

I've tried briefly RTFMing, but although the manuals contain a wealth of info about how to use Replication, I can see nothing about how to tell whether it's active or not, and how to switch it on or off. Any pointers, please, anyone?

Paul Vincent
