Replication Objects

A replication object is a database object existing on multiple servers in a distributed database system. In a replication environment, any updates made to a replication object at one site are applied to the copies at all other sites. Advanced Replication enables you to replicate the following types of objects:

• Tables

• Indexes

• Views and Object Views

• Packages and Package Bodies

• Procedures and Functions

• User-Defined Types and Type Bodies

• Triggers

• Synonyms

• Indextypes

• User-Defined Operators

Regarding tables, replication supports advanced features such as partitioned tables, index-organized tables, tables containing columns that are based on user-defined types, and object tables.

To replicate the following types of objects, you must use the replication management API:

• Object Views

• User-Defined Types and Type Bodies, and any objects on which they are based

• Indextypes

• User-Defined Operators
