Marc, You didn't mention the Oracle version, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was O7 as the serial push using the two-phase commit process doesn't scale well at all. The completely new architecture (AQ, parallel propagation, min communication, etc...) in O8 makes replication quite scalable

I verified this today actually. I had a conference call with Quest regarding SharePlex, and asked specifically about the chained rows. They said there is a reorganization step on the target database, so chained rows are not a problem. Jim Jim Hawkins Lead SAPR/3 Oracle Database
