Hrishy,
Why do you think disk-based replicatrion is better than DG? I'm not
saying that it's a bad option. But if you design your DWH, with huge
tables partitioned so that you just update a new (or single)
partition, in it's own tablespace, then you can just copy that file to
make your standby up-to-date, not all the db has to be copied. (well,
you may end up copying more than one file, for indexes, ...).
The point is that a good design, taking into account the fact that
there will be a standby DB that has to be kept up-to-date quickly, is
the best way out.
