It is possible to change the "master definition site", but generally this would 
only be done of the original master definition site is "gone", "dead", 
"lost"...temporary loss of one multi-master  site does not mean re-defining the 
master definition site...unless you need to do repadmin tasks that must be done 
for the (down) master definition site.

>>2...replicate sequences
I used local sequence on each side the would *not* collide buy using different 
START and INCREMENT values.

I liked Oracle Multi Master Replication for *simple* TABLE level replication 
where most or all transaction happen on one node...more than that and the admin 
of it (any transaction based replication) becomes painful.

Subject: MultiMaster Replication
 

I've been reading up on multimaster replication and had a few questions.

1. After the multimaster replication setup there needs to be a  master 
definition site.  if the communication breaks between 2 sites  will we have to 
change the master definition site.

2.  the tables the i'm trying to replicate have sequences that i need to 
transform to sequences  on the other side.

oracle seems to say its possbile  but i cant find an example.

If anyone on the list has had  experience with multimaster. if they could drop 
me an email and we could chat a little bit offline  that would be really great.
