RE: 9i standby

I attended the Oracle 9i opening yesterday at Oracle HQ in the UK, and one of the main points they discussed about 9i, was the use of Real Application Clusters (RAC). Of course you have to be running on Compaq hardware at the moment, but it takes the need for a standby away, as you essentially just plug the standby in to the cluster, and make use of it's computing power, instead of having the standby just stood waiting for a failure..

Just a thought..

Anyone know if the standby in 9i can be in readonly mode while the logs are being applied? I've heard about this as being the case and also that this isn't
the case.

Thanks, Dave Turner
