Does anyone know of any good articles or white papers on setting up standby databases without using Data Guard? I'm interested in looking at both logical and physical to see which would best fit our needs. What those needs are depends on whom you're talking to at any given moment, so I'm trying to get the key people together to define their requirements and what they're willing to spend to meet those requirements. I'm currently reading the 9i docs from Oracle. Sandy
