' ... The Replication server is massively powerful but essentially we'll have a production database and sat next to it a Replication server and all its various little bits and pieces ... This will then provide a warm standby, almost hot where by if this fails we reroute over to here and they've got all their data. ... It will also be our development, ... it will also give access to power users who will run any adhoc queries and they can mess those up as badly as they want and we don't care ... The backup is secondary to the performance. It happens to be able to do that. It's basically a distributed database controller and it's by far the best around. ... Quite expensive though. ... I was more in favour of stinging them for a few more things while we were at it, Gordan thought that he'd probably get shot if he asked them for about £300,000.'
