CREATE_SNAPSHOT_REPOBJECT automatically generates snapshot support for updatable snapshots.

DBMS_REPCAT.GENERATE_SNAPSHOT_SUPPORT (
   sname                    IN VARCHAR2,
   oname                    IN VARCHAR2,
   type                     IN VARCHAR2,
   gen_objs_owner           IN VARCHAR2 := '',
   min_communication        IN BOOLEAN  := TRUE,
   generate_80_compatible   IN BOOLEAN := TRUE);

Parameters

Table 8-172 GENERATE_SNAPSHOT_SUPPORT Procedure Parameters

Parameter	Description
sname	Schema in which the object is located.
oname	The name of the object for which you are generating support.
type	Type of the object. The types supported are `SNAPSHOT`, `PACKAGE`, and `PACKAGE` `BODY`.
gen_objs_owner	For objects of type `PACKAGE` or `PACKAGE BODY`, the schema in which the generated object should be created. If `NULL`, the objects are created in `SNAME`.
min_communication	If `TRUE`, then the update trigger sends the new value of a column only if the update statement modifies the column. The update trigger sends the old value of the column only if it is a key column or a column in a modified column group.
generate_80_ compatible	Set to `TRUE` if any master site is running a version of Oracle Server prior to Oracle8i release 8.1.5. Set to `FALSE` if replicated environment is a pure Oracle8i release 8.1.5 or greater environment.
