RE: providing 24*7 database ---

Having been through (and still going through this)...

we use one for queries, one for loading, when the loads are done, we do a backup then we switch the app to the "loading" database (coded so that as long as someone is connected the app doesn't switch over).

once the app has switched, we down the "queries" database and rebuild it from the backup. then switch everyone back to that one.

guy -- transportable has problems, and if the tablespace names are the same as existing ones, you can't do the transport.
