We have a client that uses LGWR shipping (but not real time apply). It works fine for us, but we did hit one bug earlier this month: Bug 5181800. The standby server got hung for other reasons and basically stopped responding, and the LNS process on the primary caused controlfile enqueue problems that eventually crashed the primary. We had to defer logging to that standby until it was back up.

FYI. Metalnik says it's fixed on 10.2.0.3 and 11g. One-off patch available for 10.2.0.2 (which we were on at the time).

Don.
