Replication Server may suffer a minor performance impact when it has to process class-level translations, which provide automatic datatype translation for a replicate database.
If you remove a non-Sybase database from a Replication Server (that is, all connections associated with that database are removed), you can remove the class-level translations supporting that database if there are no other databases of the same type that are managed by the Replication Server. For example, you can remove an Oracle replicate database if there are no other Oracle databases managed by that Replication Server.
At a primary Replication Server, you can remove the translations for a specific database type only if no primary database connection exists for that database type and no replication definitions use a map to clause referencing a user-defined datatype for that database type.
Use caution when removing class-level translations.
You must verify that for a particular Replication Server, no database
connection for that database type exists at that Replication Server.
