Why not? I was just getting ready to try this exact same thing. (i.e.
implement a Physical standby and a logical standby.)

Dinesh,
What version are/is your customer you on? OS? How much is 'minimum
outage'?=20
How much data-loss is allowed? Is it abig database? What are the
arguments=20
against Standby/Data Guard?
On Oracle 7 I implemented a home-grown DR configuration based on
triggers.=20
This was usefull for an underused database on an overpowered serverd.=20
Basically there was a small table storing the actual state of the
database.=20
It was standby all the time, forced so by some custom code in the
dbstart=20
script. Pre-insert/update/delete triggers prevented anyone from changing
colums, except the replication-user. Replication was performed=20 asynchronously. Failover meant just changing the 'active state' in the=20 special table and go for it.
Later, in 8i, this was migrated to an Advanced Replication solution.
This=20
site is out of sight now.
Data Guard with Logical Standby _can_ help, but with quite a few=20
constraints. I've setup a similar configuration, however, There 'was a=20
Physical Standby for DR, and a Logical Standby for reporting. I wouldn't
go=20
for the LSB/DR combination on 9i. For 10g I haven't dobe enough=20
investigation to give a clue. It might be better. When you are on
processor=20
licenses, you might be able to run the query/LSB on the same server as
the=20
DR/PSB database. It depends on the amount of redo that's created, and
how=20
much the server suffers from the recovery on PSB _and_ LSB together with
the planned reports on the LSB.
I think it is technically spoken possible to create a replication
mechanism=20
to synchronyze db01 and db02. However, don't underestimate the amount of
work for creating and testing such an environment, not to mention=20 monitoring, management and maintenance to keep the thing up, running,=20 accurate, etcetera....
