I have worked with both Sybase's and Oracle's replication methods. And replicate data can become inconsistent with both systems. Oracle uses a set of deferred transaction tables and job queues. The two phase commit ensures delivery of a deferred transaction to a replicate site. It does not guarantee that the deferred transaction will be applied correctly at the replicate site. Sybase can also guarentee delivery of a transaction to a replicate site, but the transaction may or may not be successfully applied at the replicate site.
