Overall Satisfaction with Oracle GoldenGate
Oracle GoldenGate is used as part of our business continuity plan. We use it to replicate in near realtime, transactions from the primary database to the BCP copy of the database. We also use it to maintain a reporting instance of our transactional database so we can offload read-only type queries in order to minimize performance impacts on the transactional database. We are experimenting with using GoldenGate to perform some transformations for us so that we can create data marts for various teams within the organization. That is still in the POC stage.
- Replication
- Business Continuity
- Query offloading
- Requires a specialized skillset
- We just passed our BCP simulation with flying colors
- Positive impact as we have [been] able to maintain high performance transactions while offloading reports and still being able to provide the reports in a timely manner to clients
Oracle is tightly integrated with Oracle Exadata and is a better fit for using Oracle databases.Both products support heterogeneous databases but using Exadata, it just seemed to make better sense to use the Oracle GoldenGate product. We also take advantage of the Oracle GoldenGate Veridata product to compare datasets and make sure they are still in sync.
