Hi Pete,

Looks like you probably already know this, but in 9i CDC uses
row-level triggers.  In 10g CDC has an asynchronous option which uses
Streams to get changes from the redo log with less impact on the
source system.

You might want to check out: http://www.nyoug.org/lisigcdc.ppt

We're on 9iR2 here, so we were considering creating our own CDC stuff
using Streams (new in 9iR2) but that's been kiboshed due to complexity
and maintenance concerns.  Streams on 9iR2 has also got a lot of bad
press.

We'll probably go with row-level triggers and take the hit on the
source system, but this hasn't been fully decided yet.

Cheers,
Malcolm.
