No, I do not confuse. I just was not 100% sure if Oracle can do it
because I've never tested it myself. 
 
The point is I've never used this option is that together with Data
Protection one wants High Availability which means that time lag is
contradicting this requirement. In numbers if 15 minutes downtime is
allowed then recovery must be 15 minutes. I am not sure how to calculate
maximum lag allowed as it depends on machine speed and redo size and
probably redo contents.

        Now regarding DG with time lag. Well, it is not a good option
for
        maximum data protection(as Oracle defines it.) At least I do not
know
        how to protect redo logs in this mode. Which means that for
maximum data
        protection you have to have a standby database which is in
complete
        sync, i.e. running in maximum protection mode(at least most of
the
        time.) BUT I am not sure if file system snapshot technique can
achieve
        this either.

Laimutis,
Maybe the delay concept confuses you a little. Maximum protection and
Delay actually go together very well.!
Maximum protecion gurantees that redo is written at the standby at the
time the commit finishes. 
Delay allows you to wait a certain amount of time to apply the redo.

So, all redo IS protected in maximum protection mode, even if a delay is
configured. The standby can be in read only mode and still protect your
data.
