You know, from a logistics perspective I'm interested in something here that
maybe those that use SharePlex can cast some light on.  

The only Oracle supported mechanism for mining the redo logs is LogMiner,
yes?  Now, given that we can change the format of the redo logs from release
to release (not sure how granular that goes, so it may even be third digit
version changes i.e. something like 8.0.5 to 8.0.6), doesn't it worry you as
a SharePlex user that the product may not keep up with changes in the redo
log formats and therefore give you garbage?  How do you ensure that doesn't
happen?

Inquiring minds want to know, and all that...

That goes for Shareplex too (sorry to state the obvious). I've been
seriously bitten in recent weeks by problems with their stuff too.

This isn't a direct answer to your question, but make sure you test logical
standby thoroughly--I had to abandon the idea of using it due to serious
bugs in the apply process, and due to seriously poor performance of the
apply process.
