Now it's getting interesting ;-) So what would be a fair price for such a product ? There are only a handful of competitors I know of : - Quest Shareplex - Oracle Golden Gate - IBM CDC ( http://www-01.ibm.com/software/data/infosphere/change-data-capture/ ) - Tungsten replicator ( http://www.continuent.com/solutions/tungsten-replicator ) - i believe their oracle logminer is not opensource Anyone using these products and know about their license price ? cheers, K ----- Originele e-mail ----- Van: "kyle Hailey" <kylelf@xxxxxxxxx> Aan: "mcdonald connor" <mcdonald.connor@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: "oracle-l-freelists" <oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Verzonden: Dinsdag 2 augustus 2011 06:49:55 GMT +01:00 Amsterdam / Berlijn / Bern / Rome / Stockholm / Wenen Onderwerp: Re: Shareplex Shareplex is cheeper than Goldengate?!

Shareplex was great for Oracle to Oracle replication. I dont know about the price though. If you are looking for something cross RDBMS, then you could also go for GoldenGate.
