Check out the ibphoenix.com website for other replication tools.
If you've already created your DBs with non integer primary keys you may
have already made life difficult for some replication tools. ANd it also
depends on your use of unique constraints, if they exist, which are other
than your primary keys. Replication becomes difficult here also.
