2 Replication Tables 

TimesTen stores metadata about replication in replication tables in your database.

Your applications can read the replication tables, but it cannot update them. If your application defines a table with the same name as a replication table, then your application can read a replication table by prefixing the replication table name with TTREP. For example, SELECT * FROM TTREP.REPTABLES selects rows from the REPTABLES replication table.

Information specific to replication tables:

Replication tables reserved for internal or future use

The TTREP.CLIENTFAILOVER table is reserved for internal or future use.

Required privileges to access replication tables

By default PUBLIC has SELECT privileges on various system and replication tables and EXECUTE privileges on various PL/SQL objects. You can see the list of objects by using this query:

SELECT * FROM sys.dba_tab_privs WHERE grantee='PUBLIC';

The ADMIN or SELECT ANY TABLE privilege is required to access other system and replication tables and views.

TTREP.REPELEMENTS
