Well --- maybe. The real question would be is "Does this functionality
increase sales and/or address customer needs. And if it does, then what is
the need that it addresses.". I mean Oracle might implement a function
called callGeorgeBushWhenTransactionAborts(). Well - I don't think that
we'd implement such a functionality just because Oracle did. ;-)

I can see one need for replicating to the same instance because I could have
additional triggers on the target table which could fire. But instead of
implementing replication to myself to support that functionality, it'd
probably make more sense to simply implement post-commit triggers.

That's why I'm trying to understand the reason for this request. Thanks.
