I am building what is intended to be a 175 user system for a medical products enterprise. We are currently in the development phase (using Developer 2000 against Oracle 7.2) and things are going reasonably well. Our platform is NT.

I have begun to think about doing what I can to crash proof the production system -- and in the process playing some "What If" games... for example -- what if NT locks up and eats the redo log files...

I am thinking that some kind of database mirroring or tandem operation across sets of drives or servers might be the best way to go. Failing that, some kind of automatic replication. Of course, there is no need to re invent the wheel here. Im sure folks have already thought all this out, and have similar systems functioning. I'd like to hear from folks who have considered this kind of thing.

What is best? What works? ("Enquiring minds want to know" <grin!>).

Best wishes!
