Hi Niall,
Did you mean Data Guard with the DG abbreviation?
If so, I do not understand the '10 days per year license terms' phrase.
That has nothing to do with Data Guard, but applies to failover
configurations, where the Oracle software is installed on a server but
not running. (using either a cluster or PMR - Poor Man's RAC - )
With a Standby configuration, whether SE and 'home-grown' standby or EE
and Data Guard, ALL servers (primary and standby) running Oracle
software need to be fully licensed. period.
The only escape is to negotiate a discount with your Oracle sales rep.
I posted about licensing of standby's at June 21, subject of the thread:
"a really non-technical question, help?" That post might help to get rid
of some myths around this topic.
BTW, Oracle hasn't updated its Software Investment Guide yet, it is
still the april 11 version.
Best regards, Carel-Jan
