As to your first question: in the docs.

As to your second question: they are two incomparable concepts. A hot-standby database is a second database, to which you don't have access. OPS is two instances accessing the same single database. OPS will alleviate/distribute the workload, and fail over when a server crashes, if however the disk crashes OPS won't help you much.

A standby database is a slave only. It should enable you to continue on a second server, whether the server or the disk crashes.
