I didn't understand the varying userbase was part of the problem: Tricia likes to separate managers running reports from the 'real' application. She will correct me if I'm wrong. With my understanding of the probem a read only standby can help to accomplish this task. If you have a dataset that needs to be refreshed once a day, and it is queried for the rest of the day, you can do that with a read-only standby. The read-onloy standby can use the (locally managed) temporary tablespace if queries are getting big.

A real-life example: One of my customers runs their application web-based on an ASP-basis. It's HR/recruitment stuff. Every now and then one of their users throws away resumes of candidates, or vacancies, or whatever, and then discovers it was the wrong item that was deleted. They will call the helpdesk then, and ask to restore the data. The helpdesk can do this pretty fast through a database-link to their standby database, that is refreshed daily, but with a 2-day lag. Pretty much the same way as I explained it to Tricia.
