Please bear in mind that there is one thing in a datatype being supported and another in all functions and features of Shareplex being usable when that datatype is involved.

I am thinking about datatype long specifically.

We have been replicating a 8i database (tru64) to a 9i one (sun)using Shareplex for months and we have tested the reverse replication and that works equally well. That is not to say that we have not had problems though !!

Hi,
We are evaluating using either Oracle logical standby or Quest Shareplex replication for reporting purposes. It appears that there are quite a few datatypes not supported by Logical standby. Anyone knows what datatypes are not supported by shareplex replication? Tried looking up at quest website but could not find any documentation.

Quest claimed that shareplex can replicate database of different versions, for eg from 9i to 8i as long as the 9i new features are not being utilized. Anyone has any experience with that?

Thanks.
