I rely on the Oracle Golden Gate Statement of Direction which indicates 
positioning.
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/goldengate/overview/statement-of-direction-gg-132120.pdf

DataGuard for Physical Standby with Zero Data Loss
Optionally additional GoldenGate for bidrectional replication.

When talking of DR as DR, I would position GG as an addition to DG but not as 
an alternative.

Hi Hemant,
Good morning! What you state may be relevant to your environment but does not 
necessarily have to be the case for every environment. Here is a real-life 
example:

Company with 3 datacenters - A (PRIMARY), B (HA) and C (DR). A and B are 60km 
apart in the same state. C is totally different state and a different timezone 
and is 1,572 miles away. B & C are reasonably in sync with the contents of A 
and this is done using Oracle Golden Gate. A, B and C all run Oracle, the same 
version of Oracle and are on the same platform.

A has a serious failure. B is now the PRIMARY. Reporting needs to be offloaded 
to DR, to maintain SLAs on B. The reporting component of the application 
utilizes and manipulates Global Temporary Tables, thus requiring the database 
to be in READ/WRITE mode. Cannot use DG or Active DG in this case, because one 
cannot manipulate a GTT in a READ ONLY WITH APPLY mode database. Replication 
using Oracle Golden Gate is the way to go, thus making it a DR solution. 

Best regards,

Gaja
