Database creation
When we set up Q replication, we can either use an existing database or create a new database. For Q Capture to operate, the source database must be using archive logging, see the Database creation section of Appendix A for more details.
Note
The source and target databases can be created with different code page settings if that is required, but it is recommended that the source and target databases (and servers) all use the same code page setting.
There are also considerations regarding table referential integrity, triggers, and so on. All these points are discussed in the Pre-setup evaluation section of Appendix A.
