Oracle Autonomous Database vs. SAP Replication Server

Pro - Stability. Does everything anyone could need. If it's not there it will be on the next update. There is plenty of support for it. It's been around for a long time and it's reliable. The support is well documented and has a great reputation. Cons - Errors have been found in the documentation provided by Oracle with guidelines, etc. Oracles salespeople have a reputation of being obnoxious and condescending.

I asked questions about a warm standby and multicast replication. We ended up using bi-directional replication and a warm standby db. Having 3 or more live OLTP DB's where each was read-write was going to be difficult to manage for contention if the same table was being updated. We stuck with an easier solution to have only two OLTP's, and then used additional DB's as read-only DW's.

• Robust - this product doesn't have a lot of downtime. It's less prone to errors than some other tools I've worked with.
• Scalable - we can keep adding more things to it. We haven't hit any roadblocks when we've tried to do more with our database.

• There is no access to the physical host of the DB. This is expected from a managed DB. Everything must be done through the console or via API calls. This is a new learning curve for the DBAs.
• Due to the lack of physical host access, certain features are not supported, such as Transportable tablespaces and Oracle LogMiner.
• Certain special data types, (such as XMLType) are not allowed; be sure the app vendor certifies their product on this platform.

• Data Reconciliation Functionality.

Because it does exactly what we need: it enables us to manage our development and testing database environments in a quick and simple way without requiring support from a database administrators team.

SAP support has been outstanding. They have quick response times and always meet their SLAs. Any time we have an issue that needs to be researched they are able to get back to us quickly with resolution.
