Hi
We are wanting to setup 2 standby databases - 1 for DR/failover using redo apply and 1 for reporting using SQL apply.
The first standby db is strictly for failover as the Primary db is a 24x7 system. The second db will allow us to add Summary tables & Materialized views around the core data and remove all reports processing away from the Primary.
Oracle documentation says you can have up to 9 standby databases, but doesn't say they can be populated by the 2 different methods (redo & SQL apply).
I'm assuming we can, but would like to know if anyone else has successfully setup a similar scenario before investing large amounts of time.
thanks

As a short answer - yes.

We have successfully tested setting up both a physical and logical standby on the same primary - basically for the same reasons you are looking to do it. We are working toward rolling this out in our production environment soon.

Our environment is a 10GR1 4 node RAC cluster with physical replication to a single node DR site and soon logical standby to a single node reporting environment.
