Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Has anyone heard of "Mirror Accessible"?
Jay - I did a search on Google and that returned nada, so I don't believe that "mirror accessible" is a bona fide term. However, looking at your words "Oracle has a product . . . database to be mirrored for reporting purposes", he might be referring to Oracle9i's Real Application Clusters.
In the Oracle 8i incarnation, there was a limitation with a standby
database. The standby could be made current by applying the redo logs from
the production database (using recovery), then opened and used for
reporting. But you couldn't have both - currency and reporting. I think I
heard that with Oracle 9i RAC this limitation has been bypassed so you can
do reporting while the logs are continuing to be applied. Don't take my word
for it (this is Friday after all), but you might want to look at RAC, and
maybe someone more knowledgeable than me will respond on this list.

My CIO woes continue. My manager has been told by the CIO that Oracle has a product called "mirror accessible" which allows the database to be mirrored for reporting purposes. He wants us to use this product.
Now I'm familiar with the EMC solution, Quest's Shareplex, Oracle Standby and Oracle Replication but he says it isn't any of these. Any idea what he might be talking about?
