Retrieve LOB data from the redo log when it is available there

Currently the CDC Oracle XStream engine always retrieves LOB data by doing a read on the database, even if the LOB data is inline (held in the redo log). This has a massive impact on performance and the CDC footprint

PostgreSQL as the source does not support BIT (Data type )

We use CDC as the main real-time synchronization tool. However, when a postgresql database is encountered, when there are BIT data type tables in the table, the table cannot be copied using cdc. As a result, many data on the production line cannot...

Ability to add query tag/s on IIDR subscription level

We got an IIDR Flexrep agent agent installed that is used to replicate data from DB2 to Snowflake. It will be nice if there's a way to add query tags on subscription level so that it will allow us to track individual query or group of queries to h...

Allow replication from Kafka as a source

It would be good to support replications from Kafka as a source to other targets. This idea might sound strange if this were the only replication happening, but this could be part of a "cascading" replication, e.g. if data is replicated from Db2 t...

fast load for CDC PostgreSQL

Building out replication from IMS to PostgreSQL, we tested a refresh of 1.7 mil records which would take an estimated 11 hours. With 428 tables some over 50 mil. We need a faster way to refresh the tables. In addition to normal build out we need t...
