Re: Solutions for a parallel system

Some options:

1. Dataguard - Logical Standby (not all the same restrictions). FYI:
2. Oracle Streams
3. Quest Shareplex
4. Materialized views that fast refresh nightly
5. Snap-copy (SAN vendor) of the database refreshed nightly at disk level
6. Transportable tablespace? (may be a shot in the dark)
