This is my presentation I have show today on POUG 2018 Oracle GoldenGate Parallel Replication Internals. Feel free to send me comments.

One of the most trivial tasks for data replication is to define a replica of the table with just a subset of the rows from the source table. For example we would like just to replicate the ACCOUNTS table with some type (one column has some defined value). If you want to replicate that using

Even though you would like to secure the database from any disaster with HA, still it might happen that the database gets corrupted and a recovery from backup is needed to recover the database. In a critical scenario you might need to use Point In Time Recovery (PITR). Let’s focus on a scenario when the

According to the Oracle GoldenGate Coordinated Replicat documentation if the Replicat is stopped in an unclean manner the threads may be unsynchronized. Different threads may reach different checkpoint positions. Let’s find out what what might be the consequences of this situation.

Oracle GoldenGate till version 11.2 could only work serially. The only way of creating parallel replication and speeding up the apply process was to create multiple Replicat processes. In version 12.1 there was a new option available: the Coordinated Replicat. It is often misunderstood as a way of speeding up transactional replication. But … is

In one of my previous posts I have described the rationale for using a checkpoint table in the Replicat process. This is a summary of all possible combinations of Replicat process and which of them are able of (not) using checkpoint table.

According to the documentation it is not allowed to use NOSCHEDULINGCOLS with ADD TRANDATA when you would use Integrated Replicat. Why would Oracle care for that? Let’s find out what can happen if you don’t apply the rules.

One of the key aspects for replication is checkpointing. A target database checkpoint tells which transactions are actually committed and which not yet. This is a key aspect of transactional replication. Let’s look how that works for the Oracle GoldenGate Classic Replicat.

Most people I have spoken to are are absolutely convinced that the Extract process has to be running on the source database host. This thinking comes from all Oracle diagrams where the Extract process is located on the source database host. Till OGG version 11.1.1 this was indeed true. Some have heard that the Extract

According to the Oracle database documentation there are two types of constraints: DEFERRED and NOT DEFERRED. The first one can be evaluated at the and of the transaction, and the second one if validated immediately. On the other hand Oracle GoldenGate can handle the replication when the target uses both of them. Let’s find out
