OS: Oracle Linux 6.5
Versions : 11.2 , 12.1
We have Enterprise edition licence for versions 11.2 and 12.1 . We are going to configure Data Guard for 3 of our RAC production DBs and 2 stand alone DBs.
Question1.
If I understand correctly, we can configure Data Guard (Physical Standby) without paying anything extra as long we don't use Active Data Guard. Am I right?
Question2.
Do I have to pay anything extra for using Data Guard Broker ? No ADG ; just the regular physical standby where DB is in MOUNT state with manager recovery running
Question3.
Is Real-time apply an extra-cost option ?
