Do you know if archived logs which are transported to the Data Guard sites can be compressed for slow network bandwidth? How if it is possible? Also, I understand that I can use Oracle Advanced Security option to encrypt the archived log data, is that correct? Thanks. _________________________________________________________________ In a rush?
