Oracle Datatype Restrictions

Replication Server and Replication Agent impose some constraints on the Oracle NUMBER datatype.

See the Replication Server Option for Oracle 15.7.1 ESD #2 Release Bulletin for the latest information on datatype restrictions.

These constraints are:
Replication Agent does not support replication of these special values for BINARY_FLOAT and BINARY_DOUBLE datatypes:

Replication Server and Replication Agent impose these constraints on the Oracle TIMESTAMP WITH [LOCAL] TIME ZONE datatype.

When a TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE datatype is replicated, the time zone information is used to resolve the timestamp value to the “local” time zone and then the resolved value is replicated. The time zone information itself is not replicated.

For example, if a TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE datatype is recorded in Oracle as “01-JAN-05 09:00:00.000000 AM -8:00” and the “local” time zone is -6:00, the replicated value is “01-JAN-05 11:00:00.000000”. The timestamp value is adjusted for the difference between the recorded time zone of -8:00 and the local time zone of -6:00, and the adjusted value is replicated.
