<quote> I started to think and look around: yes, Oracle allows you to use DG without license for up to 10 days, but there are soo many cons that for many of our clients this is not a possibilities.. Failover is a local solution and many of them need remote sites configured in different states.. </quote> That is incorrect. You can use a cold failover cluster (one passive node sharing the same storage) for 10 days. That doesn't apply to DG. Job
