Subject: Logical Standby



I'm researching data guard with physical and logical standby databases.

We currently are running standby database in 9.2 and are investigating
options that data guard will give us after upgrading to 10.2.

Question I have is - how reliable and what issues have people with
experience using logical standby?  I see that there advantages would be
availability to report and view data with possibly additional reporting
indexes on the 'standby' server..  I understand that having that
available in physical mode is an option, but updates stop while the
database is open in 'read only' mode.

What is the performance hit? Assuming maximum performance mode. I don't
trust the network to the standby site to recommend Max Protection or Max
availability.

Ongoing maintenance? I know with our current standby database, the
maintenance on the standby site is minimal. The setup is just pretty
reliable as long as the network is available and not saturated.

Logical - large(r) bandwidth requirements? 

I am currently reading the manuals so anything that I'll 'get to' please
don't tell me to RTM.  I'm looking for more actual experience and
lessons learned.

Thanks
