Objects Created on the Oracle Publisher
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. |
| HREPL_Mutex | Table | Table used to ensure that the Oracle package procedure PopulatePollTable is not executed concurrently by both the Log Reader Agent and the database job. |
| HREPL_Poll | Table | Table used to identify log table entries associated with sets of changes to published tables. |
| HREPL_PublishedTables | Table | Table containing an entry for each article in a transactional publication. |
| HREPL_Publisher | Table | Publisher status table used for maintaining Publisher specific information. |
| HREPL_SchemaFilter | Table | Table containing schemas that are not displayed when publishing through the New Publication Wizard. |
| HREPL_XactsetCreateTimes | Table | Table identifying the create time associated with each transaction set. |
| HREPL_XactsetJob | Table | Table with current parameter settings for the Xactset Job. |
| HREPL_Pollid | Sequence | Sequence used to generate poll IDs. |
| HREPL_Seq | Sequence | Sequence used to order change commands. |
| HREPL_Stmt | Sequence | Sequence used to generate statement IDs. |
| HREPL | Package and Package Body | Package of Publisher support code that is created at the Publisher. |
| MSSQLSERVERDISTRIBUTOR | Public Synonym | Public synonym for the HREPL_Distributor table. If you configure a Distributor to use with an Oracle Publisher, and this synonym already exists in the database, it is dropped and recreated. Dropping the public synonym and the configured Oracle replication user with the CASCADE option removes all replication objects from the Oracle Publisher. |
| HREPL_Len_I_J_K | Function | Function defined outside the Oracle publishing package code, used to query for the length of a LONG column (used when generating parameterized commands for tables with published LONG columns). A function is created for each published table with a LONG column. |
| HREPL_DropPublisher | Procedure | Procedure defined outside the Oracle publishing package code, used to drop the Oracle Publisher. |
| HREPL_ExecuteCommand | Procedure | Procedure defined outside the Oracle publishing package code, used to execute a command at the Publisher. |
| HREPL_ArticleN_Trigger_Row | Trigger | Trigger generated for each published table, used to track row changes. |
| HREPL_ArticleN_Trigger_Stmt | Trigger | Trigger generated for each published table, used to track statement level changes. |
| HREPL_Article_I_J | View | View created for each published table, used to query the published table. |
| HREPL_Log_I_J_K | View | View created for each published table, used to query the change tracking table. |
