You know, if you are simply looking for a DR solution, I think
Dataguard is probably your best bet. You do not have to pay for
Active DataGuard (AD) to use regular Dataguard. However, Regular
Dataguard requires that you license your remote site which can be
expensive by itself...especially when you consider that w/o AD its
usage is limited.
Please correct me if I am wrong -
As far as I can tell, each node of a RAC needs to have the Database
license and the RAC option, whereas each node of a Dataguard environment
(including standby) needs the Database license and only needs the Active
Data Guard when that functionality is required. (Admittedly, Active Data
Guard has compelling functionality.)
According to
http://www.oracle.com/us/corporate/pricing/price-lists/index.html it
appears that the Active Data Guard option is 1/2 the cost of the RAC
option, per CPU core.
What am I missing?
