As of Oracle version 9.2 (2002), Oracle Corporation made Oracle Streams available on Oracle Enterprise Edition systems only. This happened in the wake of previous replication products: Oracle Replication (introduced with Oracle 81 in 1997) and Oracle Advanced Replication2
Database Replication with Oracle 11G Streams 3 (introduced with Oracle 9i in 2000).
In July 2009, Oracle acquired GoldenGate, a company with a heterogeneous replication solution. As of 2012[update] Oracle Corporation encourages customers with new applications to use Oracle GoldenGate rather than Streams.
Oracle Streams was deprecated since Oracle Database version 12c, and desupported since Oracle Database version 19c.4

The next step in the march of data replication came into existence with Oracle release 8, which enabled database professionals to set up log-based and trigger-based replication solutions. Oracle Basic Replication [...] existed in two flavors: log-based and trigger-based. 9781430235668 ↩
