Set up the DDL User in the primary database (for Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server)

To replicate DDL commands for Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server, a unique user must be designated that is granted privileges to execute all replicated DDL commands at the Standby database.

NoteThis user must be different than the Maintenance User previously created.

StepsTo set up the DDL user in the primary database

  1. Add the DDL login to the primary data server.

  2. Grant appropriate permissions to the DDL User login to execute any DDL command to be replicated.

NoteSetting up the DDL user in the primary database assumes that snapshot replication will copy this user to the standby database along with the data. If you are using a different materialization technique, the DDL user may need to be added directly to the standby database. Regardless of materialization technique, the DDL user must exist and have the appropriate permissions at the standby database after materialization occurs.
