Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> Symmetric Replication VS. Standby Database?
Hi,
We will be setting up a high volume OLTP Oracle 7.3 database on Solaris 2.5. Inserts could exceed millions per day with a fair amount of selects as well. The table relationships will be fairly simple, however.
This will be a 7x24 system and down time has to be kept to an absolute minimum. I am contrasting the relative benefits and costs of symmetric replication versus a standby database.
I would greatly appreciate any feedback that this brilliant and educated group might care to offer.
Thank you,
