Hi all,
 
I have to pick one of them - Oracle Stream or Golden Gate for our reporting 
system (I actually like logical standby since looks we only need an exact copy 
of prod database for reporting purpose, less maintenance, but it is not an 
option). The replica reporting db will be a RAC database and reside in the same 
cluster and same nodes as the prod database. 
 
Have done Oracle multi-master advance replication implementation several years 
ago, I knew it needs a lot of maintenance. Think Oracle Stream had a lot of 
improvement but I never tried. 
 
Have read some articles comparing these two replication products. It seems 
Oracle stream has no future, Oracle Golden Gate is expected to be the main 
replication method in the future. Also we may use Golden gate for no down time 
migration.
 
Could anyone used Oracle Stream and Golden Gate shed some light? Which one is 
better in terms of deployment and maintenance? Less maintenance is important 
since we are so busy.
 
Thanks,
Lu
