Oracle 11g Change data Capture

Question

We have setup a change data capture on Oracle 11gR2. the records that get changed in the source tables will get captured in the change tables. I have some unnecessary rows in the source tables, which i would like to eliminate them without replicating the changes to target table. i know the key values to identify the rows that got populated in the change table and can manually delete it. Is there any known/unknown side affects to eliminate the records from the change table.

Hi,
you can use dbms_streams.set_tag to hide transactions from replication.
see: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e10705/rep_tags.htm#STREP390
sample:
BEGIN
DBMS_STREAMS.SET_TAG( tag => HEXTORAW('1D'));
delete from my_table where column1 = 1;
commit;
DBMS_STREAMS.SET_TAG( tag => null);
END;
the apply tag has to be another than is set to your apply process.
therefore first determine the actual tag for your session:
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON
DECLARE
raw_tag RAW(2048);
BEGIN
raw_tag := DBMS_STREAMS.GET_TAG();
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Tag Value = ' || RAWTOHEX(raw_tag));
END;
first try with a sample...
kind regards
johann.
