One of the most trivial tasks for data replication is to define a replica of the table with just a subset of the rows from the source table. For example we would like just to replicate the ACCOUNTS table with some type (one column has some defined value). If you want to replicate that using Oracle GoldenGate and the account type may be modified then this is one of the most difficult tasks to achieve… Let’s find out why.

Oracle GoldenGate point in time source database recovery
Even though you would like to secure the database from any disaster with HA, still it might happen that the database gets corrupted and a recovery from backup is needed to recover the database. In a critical scenario you might need to use Point In Time Recovery (PITR).
Let’s focus on a scenario when the source database needs to be recovered from backup to an earlier point in time. How to resync a replication to the target database without the need of a full initial load?
