Veres,
Thanks for your response.
What is size of your application? How many tables? volume. Depending, Oracle Streams may also be an option.
Rman dump is about 3 G. Exp dump~ 1.8 G. We have 70-80 tables. Most of selects uses a single (products) table.If we could spread the queries against that table that would be a big gain too.
But DML redirect to master only may need some work, if application cannot support that. (or use specific service names for application? )
I think we can modify our application. This isnt a big issue.
Your standby database can be logical/physical depending upon the application and the business need. And you could defer the apply at the standby to leverage the stand by server as a "read only".
There is any way to apply the logs continually and meantime read from the standby database?
Or this operations exclude the other?
Hope this helps. Sam Chakkanat ---- Veres Lajos <vlajos@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:Hello, (I never used dataguard before. Sorry for my lame questions.) Is it possible to syncronize nearly on-line and use the "backup" database as a select-only node with loadbalancing? Our system is 99% read-only. Dataguard seems to be good for redundancy/failsafe, but it would be great if we could use the "backup" machines CPU too. TNS can spreads SELECTs between the two nodes, and redirect DMLs to only the master? (Isnt a big problem if TNS cant, then the applications DB layer should do it.) Other solution could be a Master->Slave replication, but I think it wont be as solid. Exists any other Oracle solution for "cumulate computers power"? I heard about RAC, but seems a bit expensive for us. (Shared storage) Any comment, experience, suggestion, (rtfm keyword) would be really appreciated.
