The document discusses different types of replication in Oracle and SQL Server. It defines replication concepts and covers snapshot replication, transactional replication, merge replication, and peer-to-peer replication. Snapshot replication provides a snapshot of the data at a specific point in time. Transactional replication only allows the publisher to modify data while changes are transmitted in real-time or at intervals. Merge replication allows each server to modify data and changes are synchronized periodically. Peer-to-peer replication allows any node to make changes and modifications are transmitted to all nodes in the topology.
