Oracle Database
Enterprise PostgreSQL
Microsoft SQL Server
IBM Db2
Responsibilities include:
Assessing source and target database compatibility.
Designing replication topology based on business and technical requirements.
Configuring database prerequisites, supplemental logging, archive logging, transaction log access, database users, privileges, and network connectivity.
Handling data type conversions and schema differences across heterogeneous database platforms.
Configuring initial data loads and ongoing change data capture.
Validating replicated data for completeness, accuracy, and consistency.
