StarQuest announced the company is now an Oracle Independent Software Vendor (ISV), able to help StarQuest Data Replicator (SQDR) customers easily move to Oracle XStream/GoldenGate.
SQDR has provided ‘anywhere to anywhere’ Data Replication and Change Data Capture (CDC) to customers worldwide for over 20 years. Accurate, fast, and low latency CDC is critical in many Extract, Transfer and Load (ETL) processes, including continuous Data Replication. The choice of CDC solution is critical to creating reliability and dependable data pipelines. It determines whether customers will have IT system failures, downtime, or business interruptions.

For data sourced from Oracle databases, SQDR has used Oracle’s LogMiner technology for CDC, but can now also use XStream technology. Paul Rampel, StarQuest President explained, “Oracle users requiring advanced performance and security will eventually have to move to XStream for Data Replication/CDC, StarQuest has fully integrated XStream into the currently shipping version of SQDR and is making the move to XStream as easy and inexpensive as it can for SQDR customers. StarQuest is therefore delighted to work with Oracle as an Independent Software Vendor (ISV), and to distribute XStream licenses for use with SQDR.”
“We are thrilled StarQuest has selected Oracle’s technology to give them a competitive advantage to power StarQuest Data Replicator,” said Ashesh Parekh, Oracle Group Vice President. “We look forward to helping joint customers realize the benefits of StarQuest Data Replicator utilizing Oracle XStream technology.”

- Performance – StarQuest benchmarking indicates throughput performance improvement of about 50% using XStream vs LogMiner. XStream therefore enables improved performance both in data capture and data movement.
- Security – Consistent approach to security throughout your Oracle infrastructure.
- Future Proof – Supported new features ensure non-disruptive use of new functionality and reliability.
LogMiner is included in every version of Oracle Database but XStream requires the purchase of additional Oracle GoldenGate (OGG) licenses. For customers looking to leverage the XStream API, StarQuest is now an Oracle ISV, authorized to distribute licenses to use XStream’s high performance capabilities with StarQuest’s SQDR product. These licenses can only be used with SQDR. Their cost is still based on the core count of the Oracle Source machine.
