Oracle - Oracle Server supports two different forms of replication posted by

								Oracle Server supports two different forms of replication: basic and advanced 
									replication. Explain difference between these.
								Basic replication is implemented using standard CREATE SNAPSHOT or CREATE 
									MATERIALIZED VIEW statements. It can only replicate data and not procedures, 
									indexes replication is always one-way, and snapshot copies are read only. 
									 
									Advanced replication supports various configurations of updatable snapshot, 
									multi-master and update anywhere replication. It is more difficult to configure 
									but allows data and other database objects like indexes and procedures to be 
									replicated. 
									 
									With basic replication, data replicas provide read-only access to the table 
									data whereas advanced replication features extend the capabilities of basic 
									read-only replication by allowing applications to update table replicas 
									throughout a replicated database system. 
									 
									With Basic Replication applications can query data from local data replicas. On 
									the other hand with advanced replication, data replicas anywhere in the system 
									can provide both read and update access to a table's data.
