Oracle Streams Overview

Oracle Streams Overview

Oracle Streams, a built-in feature of the Oracle database, is a critical data replication and integration feature. It provides a flexible infrastructure that meets a wide variety of information sharing needs. Oracle Streams enables the propagation of data, transactions and events in a data stream either within a database, or from one database to another. The flexibility of Streams over traditional solutions for data replication and message queuing, allows customers to select a single information sharing solution, and to deploy information solutions in less time and for less cost. As business requirements change, simply implement a new capability of Oracle Streams, without sacrificing existing capabilities.
