At the moment I am setting up an Oracle database, I need to build in some sort of fault tolerence into the system. This does not need to be completely mission critical, but a down time of 30 minutes would be quite unexceptable.

I need a solution to use. We have two Oracle boxes, at present ones live and ones for a backup/test purposes. Really I require to have the data replicated on the fly, but don't require both database to be read/write (although this would be nice). Can't really justify the cost of Enterprise Edition (Using Workgroup server atm) purely for this ability.

Any suggestion? (Directions towards what section of the Backup/Recovery/Replication forest to read!).

Thanks,
