Other Non-supported DDL

Oracle GoldenGate does not support the following:

  • DDL on nested tables.

  • DDL on identity columns.

  • ALTER DATABASE and ALTER SYSTEM (these are not considered to be DDL) Using dictionary, you can replicate ALTER DATABASE DEFAULT EDITION and ALTER PLUGGABLE DATABASE DEFAULT EDITION. All other ALTER [PLUGABLE] DATABASE commands are ignored.

  • DDL on a standby database.

  • Database link DDL.

  • DDL that creates tables with the FLASHBACK ARCHIVE clause and DDL that creates, alters, or deletes the flashback data archive itself. DML on tables with FLASHBACK ARCHIVE is supported.

  • Some DDL will generate system generated object names. The names of system generated objects may not always be the same between two different databases. So, DDL operations on objects with system generated names should only be done if the name is exactly the same on the target.
