Re: ORACLE requirement to implement automatic standby DB

At least in 9i, there is a basic form of standby database available in standard ed as well:
Check http://otn.oracle.com/products/oracle9i/pdf/o9i_family_features.pdf and search for standby.

It works, I've implemented it in a customers site - there's a bit of scripting & work needed to automatize log transport & application as data guard does.
