Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Real-life Stand-by DB implementation stories?
Yes we did.
It's on windows NT. We have implemented manually managed standby database, with a db job on the primary database archiving online redo log files every five minutes to minimize data loss in case of a crash of the primary database. The standby database server ftps *iwth a windows nt scheduled job, running every 15 minutes) new archive log files to it's local drive and applies them to the standby database if it's not in read-only mode for reporting.
It's working since a more than a year, never had any problems with it. If Windows NT server is kept away from frequent install/deinstall of various applications then within my experience it is a stable solution. By the way, if Oracle Technet can be believed, Oracle 9i will have an automatic fail over feature for the standby database.
My view is that you should use Oracle 8.1.7. Oracle 8.1.6 has some problems with read-only mode combined with managed standby database - or so I heard.

Anyone implemented SBDBs recenetly? A client is comparing them to a cluster solution involving Fail-Safe. We are recommending SBDB and trying to go to 817 also (on 80521 now).
Also this is NT if that makes a difference.
Thanks,
