Additional read-write schema in logical standby

Question

Hi,
We have successfully configured logical standby for a production database on oracle 11.1.0.7. Now we have the following requirements:
1) Add a new/ additional schema to logical standby database which can support read write (dml/ddl)operations.
2) Turn off the sync for one particular table in the standby (prod) schema and make it read write.
Appreciate any guidelines in this regard.
Thanks,
Venkat

Answer 1

Thank you.
I was able to make a table read-write based on following extract from oracle documentation.
SQL> ALTER DATABASE STOP LOGICAL STANDBY APPLY;
Database altered.
SQL> EXECUTE DBMS_LOGSTDBY.SKIP('SCHEMA_DDL','MYSCHEMA','MYTABLES%');
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL> EXECUTE DBMS_LOGSTDBY.SKIP('DML','MYSCHEMA','MYTABLES%');
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL> ALTER DATABASE START LOGICAL STANDBY APPLY;
Database altered.
The example then queries the DBA_LOGSTDBY_PARAMETERS view to verify the logical standby database is updated. Verification can take a while so you might need to repeat the query until no rows are returned, as shown in the following example:
SQL> SELECT VALUE FROM DBA_LOGSTDBY_PARAMETERS WHERE NAME = 'GUARD_STANDBY';
VALUE
Ready
select guard_status from v$database;
Finally, the example sets the database guard to allow updates to the tables.
SQL> ALTER DATABASE GUARD STANDBY;
Database altered.
select guard_status from v$database;
