Technical Architecture

Key Tables

Logic

  1. Remote Access: Connects via DB Link.
  2. SQL Normalization: It often compares a “short” version or a hash of the SQL to detect changes efficiently, or uses the special view to pull the CLOB data.
  3. Diffing: It flags records where the local definition does not match the remote definition.
