Overview of DDL Synchronization

Oracle GoldenGate supports the synchronization of DDL operations from one database to another.

DDL synchronization can be active when:

• business applications are actively accessing and updating the source and target objects.

• Oracle GoldenGate transactional data synchronization is active.

The components that support the replication of DDL and the replication of transactional data changes (DML) are independent of each other. Therefore, you can synchronize:

• just DDL changes

• just DML changes

• both DDL and DML

For a list of supported objects and operations for DDL support for Oracle, see Supported Objects and Operations in Oracle DDL.
