hm.. How does this compare with the Oracle system? Are the Oracle logs
smaller? This is how we perform most of our mirroring with Oracle, and
yes, it does produce rather large files, but once the most recent file has
been transferred over and uploaded into the mirror database, they get
deleted. Admittedly this involves lots of cron writing, but it works..
