thats right. if its standy, they charge you, but if you use HA, say ibm sp's, hp mc
serviceguard, or sun's /veritas trusted cluster, then you save on oracle licensing.
btw, i heard veritas trusted cluster is a bear to set up (maybe the list can shed more
light on this). i never used it, but hp and ibm are pretty straight forward and less
expensive than oracle licensing. just my $.02.

if you are operating in standby mode, then your database needs to be up in
order for you to apply logs from primary database. according to our oracle
rep, we have to pay for that extra license (# of cpus X cpu MHz X 1.5 for
RISC chip) i want to know where they come up with the 1.5.....
