TAF is a RAC thing, it only works for queries, not transaction, and it won't work with PeopleSoft because it has to be built into the client.

Been thinking about this.

We run PS with two physical standby's. One local and one remote. I've cycled through them
before and everything works nicely. At a low level you simply update the tnsnames. You can get fancy and employ Transparent Application Failover (TAF) which is on my list of to-do's.

Just curious, what would you use the logical standby for? In a perfect world I'd like to point
our PS Query Users at the logical standby which of course is not possible.

We are implementing Oracle Business Intelligence with HR Analtyics which requires periodic loads from production. For this I am considering converting the physical standby into a logical standby and then doing the data loads against the standby as opposed to production.
