Hmm, okay. We're now looking at another, simpler, way to do it. The same
setup but the clients on Center 1/2 will connect directly to the Main
center (2Mb leased line). The databases on Center 1/2 will then just be
a replica of the Main databases.
The biggest issue though is what happens when the lines go down:
1. connect to local database server
2. line comes up => changes to local database sent to main database
3. connect to main database server
From what I understand this will be possible but I may need to roll my
own replication code to handle data conflict issues? Especially since
center 1/2 may be down at the same time and then might change the same data.
How do the tools for this compare against the ones from Oracle?
