Yoda, I knew that this replication project was out of my scope of knowledge, but I thought it would be a great way to learn more about Oracle. What way would be better to do hands on R&D work and be excited about this RDMS? I looked around metalink and the ioug website, but there's a lot of old (8.x.x) information on the Replication API. That's why I came here.

I am still poking around and reading as much as I can. The overall process seems very trivial, but I am always missing a step somewhere. Julian, I am after snapshot replication. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction. I will keep you posted.
