Well, being in health care industry myself I know too well what do you mean. Apart from 100s of tousands of $ lost every hour we are down, we have to take some safety also into account. As to the question of advanced replication, having implemented multi-master replication myself I know what a nightmare it could turn out to be . Moreover it wasn't greate shakes in performance either. Only advantage you are looking at when considering a third party software. It is script driven so no info gets stored in data dictionary. How this could be a merit ?...well you don't get hung up on distributed transaction ( 2 phase commit ) problem solving - performance hit which is inevitable. More over I have seen the technology of reading redo logs/archive logs and it seems to be stable and fast.
Finally I think it is matter of personal preference also. But I coul dbe wrong. Cheers, RS --- "Freeman, Robert " <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >>1.
