Curious, that note suggests Advanced Replication as a failover methodology.

Seems that a standby database would be _much_ simpler.

Any thoughts ( from anyone ) on why one would use AR for failover, rather than using a standby database?

Mitchell,

There are a LOT of good papers in Metalink. I've been getting my own education over the last few months. Replication is a really great swiss army knife though, you need to do a little looking for what you specifically
need to do, then test, test, test. Oh, and did I mention test? :) I found
Note: 138181.1 particularly helpful. Oh, and plan on some TARs. I have found Support very helpful/informative in this area.

Good Luck,
