Re: Architecture Question

Stepahne & Ajay

Thanks for your input. I do understand it has to be logical standby. Right now we are evaluating 10g for some other requirements. May be this could be an added reason for moving to it. We ruled out MVs because of the application DB design, transaction rate and the DW requirements to capture history. The refresh frequency seemed too high in that case in order to capture all the changes happening in the primary db and reflect on the secondary.
