Please correct me if I am wrong -
As far as I can tell, each node of a RAC needs to have the Database license and the RAC option, whereas each node of a Dataguard environment (including standby) needs the Database license and only needs the Active Data Guard when that functionality is required. (Admittedly, Active Data Guard has compelling functionality.)
According to
http://www.oracle.com/us/corporate/pricing/price-lists/index.html it
appears that the Active Data Guard option is 1/2 the cost of the RAC
option, per CPU core.
What am I missing?
