Re: Does dataguard require same o/s release on both servers

As Carel-Jan already said, I am wondering too why would one use "heterogeneous DG" systems on different oracle platforms (linux-windoz) and specially systems with different "endian-ness" (irrespective of if this is supported or not). If someone on the list have such configuration, I would like to hear the reasons for this.

regards,
goran
