<plug?>
There is a product that does just that from LeeTech software, I tested
it recently for a customer. Check out the DOOR product description
on www.leetech.com.

I only tried mirroring to MS SQL, but I did see options for Oracle and
Allbase, on Unix.

The question mark on the plug is because since I have no financial
interest, I'm not certain if it is required, but to be PC, I'm including
it anyway. :)

Merry Christmas all!!
