Juan,
 
I am 
using Physical Standby Database for Disaster Recovery situation and also 
for REPORTS.  I apply logs everyday in the morning and bring it up in 
READ ONLY mode.  Developers can SELECT latest data from STANDBY 
database.  I have created a DATABASE LINK for STANDBY database from X 
database.  Now you can create REPORTS in X database by SELECTING data 
from STANDBY database.  Less maintenance, reliable and good 
performance.
 
The 
only disadvantage is STANDBY database is one day behind.

RE: Re: Logical StandBy question

2003-11-13 Thread Carel-Jan Engel


Hi Juan,
It is not the patch level that makes it unusable for standby. It's the
complexity, limitations and elaborous management tasks that cause the
problem. One single unsupported DML command can stop/suspend the
SQL-Apply process at the standby, and you have to circumvent the problem
manually before you can resume.
That's something you definitely don't want in a standby environment. At
the other end, when everything has been tested, tested, and tested, your
users have no SQL*Plus/Toad/ODBC/whatever SQL-tool access to the primary
database, you have reliable DBA's ;-), it can run pretty well, and it can
be used for reporting purposes.
Note that redolog forwarding doesn't mean SQL Apply. Let me clarify
this.
When running in Guaranteed protection mode, all (online) redolog
information gets forwarded to the standby. This is done synchronously, so
it is guaranteed that every transaction arrives at the standby when it's
written in the redolog on the primary. The same applies to the other
protegction modes, but some data divergence may be the result. But. After
a logswitch and not earlier, logmining will start, and the SQL Apply
process will start processing the transactions. This is called
serialisation, and doesn't really scale! 
PSB remains in recovery mode, that uses less resources, and kan keep up
pretty well on the sites I've installed it so far (right, Yong? ;-)
).
What do you want to achieve with LSB? Off-line reporting facilities on
actual data? How actual do you need them? When a daily refresh is enough
consider this plan:
Create a PSB, and keep it in Read-only mode. All redolog gets forwarded
whatsoever, even in Read Only mode. Once, twice a day you switch the PSB
to Recovery mode, wait until the waiting redologs have been applied, and
switch back to Read Only mode. Has some limitations, not usable for all
demands for offline reporting,  but on the other hand, you know what
your report is based on. Many DWH applications don't even want to have
their data updated real-time, simply because succeeding reports will be
uncomparable because variations in the daily workflow can affect the
results.
Another plan might be creating both an LSB and a PSB (can be done on a
single machine when the size of your database allows you), and use the
LSB for reporting, and the PSB for failover. I would strongly recommend
not to use LSB for failover purposes. The techniques simply aren't mature
enough. I hope 10g is better, can't wait to get a copy to investigate DG
in 10g. I've developed some scripts, 900+ lines for (hot) instantiation,
and twice as much for database control. Together with some (still
undocumented) naming conventions, they make life pretty easy for the
command-line oriented DBA. However, they're not finished yet (what script
is?), and not completely bug-free.  And, they're Korn-shll scripts,
so not usable on Windoze.

RE: RE: Re: Logical StandBy question

2003-11-13 Thread Stephane Faroult
I tried it on 9.2.0.3.0 running on two Linux machines. I doubt all bugs were fixed in 
9.2.0.4. I currently consider LSB to be a prototype, an interesting foretaste of 
things to come, but hardly more.
It of course depends on the size of the database, but couldn't you consider doing 
reporting on a Day - 1 database?
Might be simpler to use your hot backups and recreate a backup database every night. 
Or perhaps use snaphots (sorry, materialized views) - traditional replication (you 
don't need the 'advanced' stuff). If the production database can bear the overhead.
Anyway, if you are as lucky as I was, this is (rebuilding the database from your 
backups) what you may well end doing with LSB (plus the 26 step process each time - 
well, I wrote scripts to help).

Walt,

This is basically my feelings after the tests :
  o Properly monitoring is rather difficult. You must check at both ends
to have more than a vague feeling that things could have gone awry. This
is just one aspect of a general user-friendliness which first shows up
in a 26 step installation procedure.
  o The automated check for incompatibilities (there is normally a view
to tell you what will not work) is fairly deficient. I have (by mistake)
tested on a schema with lots of (unsupported) LONGs, do you think I got
any warning?
  o Although a surprisingly high number of DDL commands are successfully
replicated (including CREATE USER, etc), others are understandably not
replicated (when you extend a tablespace - well the directory lay-out
may be different, so it makes sense. The workaround is to have
AUTOEXTEND ON, which I am usually reluctant to have), something as
mundane as RENAME is not - with all the ensuing consequences you may
imagine.
  o I have found no way to ensure that the time gap between the two
databases stayed below some predefined threshold. Not sure that issuing
regular ALTER SYSTEM SWITCH LOGFILE on the master is enough. 

I wanted to test the performance impact of logical standby by running an
import, first without it, then with it, and also to measure how fast the
copy was catching up, but I've given up my tests after a few ORA-600
errors.

The concept is great, and I am sure to have another look at it ...
later.

RE: Re: Logical StandBy question

Walt,

I'll step in here--my experiment with Logical Standby convinced me that
it is not ready for prime time.

1.  Major bugs caused apply process to crash repeatedly.
2.  Difficulty filtering out DDL from apply stream.
3.  Horrendous performance of apply process--frequently the elapsed
time to apply changes on the standby was one or two orders of magnitude
greater than that of the source operation.

there was a thread -- Paul Baumgartel started it looking for
information on logical standby.

IIRC, he found that there were a few "gotchas" -- check the fatcity
archives.

I do know that since it's based on Logminer technology, it has the same
limitations that Logminer does

Hi all,
As Stephane told, logical standby (LSB) has a lot of tiny little
exceptions and special issues to cope with. I've done one implementation
in production until now (did appr. 20 Physical Standby sites as well).

But, even that site uses 2 LSB's as reporting systems, and has a PSB for
the HA issue.
Feel free to ask more.

RE: Re: Logical StandBy question

2003-11-12 Thread Walt Weaver
Stephane,

What sort of problems can one expect from logical standby?

I'm toying with the idea of using it as a replication database -- no
additional schema objects will be created, but users will have read-only
access to it. It's one of the options I'm looking at.

Seems to me like there was a thread on this a few months ago, but I'm
not sure...

Re: Logical StandBy question

2003-11-12 Thread Rachel Carmichael
took me exactly two clicks to find the following:


Oracle9i Release 2 (9.2) New Features in Data Guard

The features and enhancements described in this section were added to
Data Guard in Oracle9i release 2 (9.2).

* Logical standby database

  Until now, there has been only the physical standby database
implementation, in which the standby database can be in either recovery
mode or in read-only mode. A physical standby database is physically
equivalent to the primary database, and, while the database is applying
logs it cannot be opened for reporting and vice versa. A logical
standby database has the same logical schema as the primary database
but may have different physical objects, such as additional indexes.
With logical standby databases, you can have the database available for
reporting and applying the logs to the standby log at the same time.

  What you say refers to the physical standby database (which works well), not to the 
logical standby database (which on the paper looks great, allows you to open the 
database, create additional tablespaces, create additional indexes on replicated 
objects etc) but which in practice still has a lot of teething troubles. Wouldn't use 
it in production on Oracle 9.2.

I think you're confusing physical and logical standby databases.

Logical standby databases aren't in recovery mode.

Re: Logical StandBy question

There are two kinds of standby database:  physical and logical.   The
original post referred to logical standby.  The normal state of a
logical standby database is open, and it can contain schemas and
objects that do not exist in the primary.

Check the manuals again!  ;-)

Hmm...

I'd like to know where in the manuals... :-)

I do not think so since the standby database stay in
permanent recovery mode.

RE: Logical StandBy question

2003-11-12 Thread Rachel Carmichael
Short answer: look in the manuals.

Longer answer: a LOGICAL standby database does not get updated in the
same manner as a PHYSICAL standby database. Logical Standby is simply a
database which is updated via SQL statements generated from the
archived redo logs, not application of the archived redo logs
themselves.

so you can do anything in the logical standby (including creating
additional indexes on the tables from the primary database) that you
can do in a regular database with the exception (from memory so this
may be wrong) that the tables that are in the primary database must be
read-only in the standby
