Redo logs supports physio-logical logging. Every bit change at the block
level will generate a change vector which is bundled together in a redo
record. In a physical standby database the changes are replayed using
these redo records, very similar to the database recovery. The structure
should not be altered in a way that can affect the log application, in
this mode.
In a logical standby, the SQL statements are stripped off and reexecuted
in the standby DB. Quest replication product is using this method for a
long time now. 

There are many pros and cons to both. Name a few: logical standby db
will not propagate redo log corruption, db should be open for logical
standby etc.

I read document it mention logical standby DB use "sql statements apply"
and physical standby use "redo log apply".  I got confuse.  "redo log
aplly" should same like "sql statements apply", due to "redo log"
includes hundreds SQL statements.

Can anyone give me a hint?

Thanks.
