Hi,
several years ago , I implemented the oracle replication system.
At that time our database was ported from an old Fox pro application. ( K ,
no laughing at the back).
As the foxpro did not use "primary keys", I set up a replication column
called "repindex".
Each site that adds records uses:
"siteID+sequenc ekey", this col, is col is only used fro replication, but I
now have the situation that the primary key is allocated to this col.
As I'm now re-implementing in applications in java,
I now want to allocate the primary key to another distinct column:
1. can i just drop the primary key then enable the key on another col
2. can the replication system still use the "repindex" col, without it being
the primary key col
or do i have to
suspend replication
drop primary key constraint
enable new key col
regenerate replication support
re-enable replication.
I would ask tom, but getting a question to that guy is impossible these days.

What version Oracle?
The recommendation is to use primary keys for replication,
rowid is still supported for backward compatibility purposes.
(Advanced) Replication is pronounced dead by Oracle, BTW.

You would, as soon as you change columns for replication
identification.
As it looks like a rebuild to start with, I'd look for
other options than Advanced Replication; 10g has other options,
which -in absence of version information- may or may not be
applicable to your situation.
If you want to stick to (Adv.) Replication, I'd rework your
design with primary keys.

oracle is currently 9.0.2.6.
I also have a registered 10g, but have not upgraded to it yet.
You say replication is dead?, what options are available in 10g

Hi
First at all ... sorry for my poor english.
I have the following process:
I have a Primary PC that acquires data from an external device. This data is stored in a local database.
This external device is sending information all the time.
There is a Secondary PC that copies the data from the Primary PC database. There is another database in the secondary pc. I have to do this with longer time intervals.

Hello All
We intend to replicate a database in order to have it as a near immediate
standby in case of the failure of the main server.
Is this the best solution for disaster recovery?
We are currently testing our replication plan. When we set up the
subscriber, a snapshot of the publisher is created and this takes hours. Is
there a better way?

I'm working on two SQL server databases on two different remote

But which type of replication should i use? Transactional, Merge or

If I have two tables that I want to synchronize via replication publish
subscriber model and they don't contain primary keys i.e. an ID field, but
there are three columns that make a unique key. The tables are HUGE so I
want to minimize down time.
Can replication still be done, either snapshot, transactional, or merge?
Again I don't want to create any more columns in the tables because of the
record volume.
Thanks

I am very new to MySQL and just got done reading the replication

Hi,
I am setting up transactional replication and have run into a problem… Can anyone help?
The table I am publishing is called Area. The table, Area, is the same on both the publisher and the subscriber.
When executing transactional replication, the error I get from the distribution agent is:-

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
