Ed,
I've shied away from replication beyond snapshots due to the requirement to
not modify objects that are registered with the replication manager. Seems that
as soon as I tell the duhveloper that he/she can not modify the structure, but
will have to come talk to me. At this point they don't want to continue down
that path. So no, we don't use replication but it's more of a duhveloper thing.
As far as snapshots go, I've heard a lot of people claim to have continuos
problems with them. Wish I could say that it's true, but I can't. We make
extensive use of snapshots to keep cross database communications down as much as
possible & don't have a single problem with them.

I'm curious, based on a discussion I had with a DBA here at work, how
many people use the replication features of Oracle. I often see
replication listed as one of the selling points of Oracle, but it's also
very hard to get a class on replication because they are always closing
classes for poor registration.
How common is replication (basic or advanced)? It makes more sense to
use simple snapshots than DB links for what we are doing, but given that
our support from Oracle has been TERRIBLE with snapshot problems, I now
wonder if anyone uses them. We are switching to db links, but that can
pose potential performance issues with, for example, joins across the db
link.
Best,
Ed
