Yup, exactly what I had concluded previously until I spoke to our Oracle guys. I will let you know the outcome. -----Original Message----- From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Ron Oglesby Sent: 08 June 2004 17:51 To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: Oracle data store It may be different in oracle (I FOR SURE am not an oracle guy) But imagine this change. Change on remote server. Change sent to master/publisher, publisher verifies change is ok/no conflict, commits change, then pushes change out to all other partners and change is committed on the first server. Now in my last environment with this running we are talking 2 seconds of latency generally. At the highest 3. sometimes faster. All depends right? Anyway there can be lag. I don't know what to really tell ya, its just what they support. Also remember that a best practice in replicated environments is to publish the CMC from Servers communicating with the publisher. This ensures smooth replication. Changes made at the remote site to the DS then are rarer.

With four replication partners over a WAN, the overall latency could be something like 5-10 secs for an update. I was under the impression that the two phase commit process meant that the database you are updating would simply send update to the publisher (master) which would commit immediately, thus allowing the sending database to commit, and the publisher database would then replicate that change to the other replication partners?

Don't worry the heavy SQL dba's say the same thing about Citrix's recommendations. I got merge replication to work for SQL with FR3 on like 20 servers in the lab. Worked real well. But Citrix wont support it. Their stance is "It will corrupt your data store". Which really means "we have a way to do it already, even if MS supports a newer way of doing it". For an ISV they spend money on development and testing where they need to (new features) to get more bang for their buck.

Their initial response was not positive. Basically, they view the replication recommendation as out of date and is much better implemented with async transactions and some other components that escape me. I would be very interested to hear from anyone that has implemented a replicated data store on Oracle. thanks in advance, Brian ======================================================================== ====== This message is for the sole use of the intended recipient.
