I want to know if anyone could tell me a alternative to database replication. We currently have a Sun system at our H.Q. location running Oracle 8i and we would need to implement another System on a NT/Win2k platform for our second office. Due to lack of experience and Knowledge of IT staff and Management at my H.Q. location they will not consider a replication solution at all.

Any ideas on how to keep both databases in sync will be a big help even if requires manual labor.
please don't recommend Citrix thats not a option


Thanks
