RE: Replication

Saj

You have to be very specific about the term "high availability" with management.
If u mean no down time atall then I think only oracle parallel server can do this.

Rest all solutions out there like Oracle standby / shareplex / oracle advance replication involve downtime (which can be kept to min level)

Ofcourse there are many products other than this available in the market. So be sure what u are proposing & also think of how to implement "Disaster recovery ". It's all together a diff animal.

All the best

We have a situation where we have a high availability database, we have another machine with a backup database.

We want to replicate the main db using the backup machine.

So I'm considering things like Replication, Snapshots... also things like Distributed database, Parallel Server.

Basically to keep the backup database in line with the main database.. so in the event of the main db crashing we can move over to the backup one straight away.

We are on Oracle 8.0.4 on Solaris 2.6.
