Objects Created on the Oracle Publisher

  • Article

Applies to: SQL Server

Microsoft SQL Server replication installs database objects on the Oracle Publisher to enable change tracking and forwarding ( SQL Server does not install any binary files on the Oracle Publisher). The following table lists the objects that are created at the Oracle Publisher when it is identified as a Publisher at the SQL Server Distributor. The object descriptions are provided for informational purposes only. These objects should not be modified.

Object Name Object Type Description
HREPL_ArticleNlog_V Table Change tracking table used to store information as changes are made to the published table. A change tracking table is created for each published table.
HREPL_Changes Table Table used internally by the Xactset Job to determine the number of changes waiting to be assigned to a transaction set. For more information about this job, see Performance Tuning for Oracle Publishers.
HREPL_Distributor Table Distributor status table used to maintain information about the SQL Server Distributor associated with the Oracle Publisher.
HREPL_Event Table Event table used for synchronizing snapshots and row count requests.
