Rao,
I worked at MCI Teleconferencing for a few years and they were using
SharePlex for a reporting database. Oracle replication was not fast enough
to support their transaction rate and they also could not afford the
overhead on the source database that occurs with Oracle replication. After
a few startup issues, it worked well for them, and AFAIK, they are still
using it.
During their research, they also found that Amazon.com was using it for, I
think, data warehousing -- not their transactional system.
Interesting enough, I understand that Oracle has built an equivalent feature
that was planned to be part of 9i. I haven't read enough on 9i to see if it
made it in there or not. Perhaps someone else knows about this.
