RE: Strange developer ideas

Ha! Sounds like some responses I've gotten to the same type of question. Of course, I suggest SharePlex, not GoldenGate 😊, but the result is usually the same. Something about horses and water comes to mind...

To answer the question, AFAIK, you and the folks that run Ask Tom are correct - can't be done. And I was surprised at the "mild" Ask Tom answer.

i've got a request from a developer to use logical standby as a DW database. The idea is that "DELETE" and "TRUNCATE" commands on the primary shouldn't be propagated to the standby. I told her that such thing can only be done by using the Force, not the normal Oracle tools. I sent this as an argument:

Now, the PM in charge of the project on which the aforementioned programmer is working sent me nastygram, accusing me of stalling and obstructing their project and colluding with Russians. I dared suggesting purchasing the Golden Gate license, which is completely capable of performing the required operation, but it wasn't interpreted as a helpful suggestion.

Just to cover all my angles, is anything like that possible with the logical standby? Has anyone managed to do anything like that? I have always considered standby a copy of the primary. Calling all Force users on this group, especially the ones dabbling in the Dark Side.
