Well,
being in health care industry myself I know too well
what do you mean. Apart from 100s of tousands of $
lost every hour we are down, we have to take some
safety also into account.
As to the question of advanced replication, having
implemented multi-master replication myself I know
what a nightmare it could turn out to be . Moreover it
wasn't greate shakes in performance either.
Only advantage you are looking at when considering a
third party software. It is script driven so no info
gets stored in data dictionary. How this could be a
merit ?...well you don't get hung up on distributed
transaction ( 2 phase commit ) problem solving -
performance hit which is inevitable. More over I have
seen the technology of reading redo logs/archive logs
and it seems to be stable and fast.
Finally I think it is matter of personal preference also. But I coul dbe wrong.
Cheers,
RS
