This book teaches the basics of Oracle GoldenGate, which is a product that is used to simplify the process of Oracle Database Replication. GoldenGate can be used for reporting, failover, high availability, live reporting, data warehousing, and BigData ETL process, as well as connecting to multiple other data sources outside of Oracle Database such as SQL Server, MySQL, Teradata, PostgreSQL, and many others. The purpose of GoldenGate and its popularity is its ability to make the highly complex architecture of database replication into a much more simplistic task. This book teaches the reader how to use Oracle GoldenGate, from installation to troubleshooting.
