Pete,

Version: 8.1.7.0.0. Platform: Various (mainly HPUX 32 bit). Begging permission from the authorities to upgrade to 8.1.7.4; currently awaiting clearance.

You may very well be right; I'm not arguing. I can make replication work; but I'm darned if I can do the same with AR.

Seriously, I'd welcome the publication of 'Oracle Replication for Dummies'. I have tried the concepts manual, but it still leaves me baffled. For example, I have successfully created updatable snapshots, but after they've been updated at the snapshot site, the next update at the master site overwrites all the changes at the snapshot site. I know I must doing something stupid, but any pointers would be more than welcome.

Flame away, all!

Cheers,
