Jeff - With 8.1.7, I believe that you are limited to read-only or standby,
but you can't have both simultaneously. It is either in recovery mode
accepting redo logs from production or open and allowing read-only.
I believe that with 9i the options are much more flexible. Read up
on the Oracle9i Real Application Clusters.

Hi. I'm looking into implementing a read-only stand-by database. I'd
like to have it read-only for periodic reporting during the day. Is
this possible under 8.1.7, or 9i?
Are there any drawbacks to having the stand-by database opened for
read-only? I would have two goals in mind: 1. A stand-by, read-only
reporting db. 2. Easy switch-over to the stand-by. Are these two
goals compatible? I can't find any documention on Data Guard for
8.1.7, as the links on Technet are broken.
Thanks
Jeff
