Re: Any Oracle 9i Data Guard limitations specific to Linux

Hi William,

During the past 2,5 years I've been responsible for appr 20 DG installations, varying form 9.0.1 to 9.2.0.4, most Physical Standby. Logical Standby is not ready for High Availability purposes yet, but Physical Standby definitely is. The biggest production systems I've worked on were severel hundreds of Megabytes, most of them on Solaris. The biggest Linux site I've worked with was around 100 MB. Today I configured a Linux RH installation for one of my customers.

No experience with DG in combination with raw partitions.

I'll send you the materials I created for several classed I tought on DG, and would like to stay in touch with you about your experiences.

Regards, Carel-Jan
