Create table on Logical Standby Database

Question

Dear DBAs,
here is my situation;
1. My primary database (where the tables' owner is "ICC" having a DBA) is used for insert/update transactions.
2. The logical stdby DB (dataguard structure with MAX availability) is used to generate reports, after updating some tables owned by the same user "ICC". note that these tables are excluded from the replication.
3. The developers might need to create this kind of tables to generate another kind of reports.
The issue is that when the standby apply is enabled or disabled, the user ICC is not able to create a new table, it gives ORA-01031: insufficient privileges. note that it's not practical to ask the DBA to disable the "APPLY" at any table creation.
Do you have an idea about how to resolve.
My database is 10gR2 path.10.2.0.4.0 on Windows 2003
Thank you in advance

If you stop applying log on the logical standby you can easily create a table over there. See oracle docs. The following list shows >how to re-create a table and restart SQL Apply on that table:
>
Stop SQL Apply:
SQL> ALTER DATABASE STOP LOGICAL STANDBY APPLY;
Ensure no operations are being skipped for the table in question by querying the DBA_LOGSTDBY_SKIP view:
SQL> SELECT * FROM DBA_LOGSTDBY_SKIP;
ERROR STATEMENT_OPT OWNER NAME PROC
N SCHEMA_DDL HR EMPLOYEES
N DML HR EMPLOYEES
N SCHEMA_DDL OE TEST_ORDER
N DML OE TEST_ORDER
Because you already have skip rules associated with the table that you want to re-create on the logical standby >database, you must first delete those rules. You can accomplish that by calling the DBMS_LOGSTDBY.UNSKIP >procedure. For example:
SQL> EXECUTE DBMS_LOGSTDBY.UNSKIP(stmt => 'DML', -
schema_name => 'HR', - object_name => 'EMPLOYEES');SQL> EXECUTE DBMS_LOGSTDBY.UNSKIP(stmt >=> 'SCHEMA_DDL', -
schema_name => 'HR', - object_name => 'EMPLOYEES');
Re-create the table HR.EMPLOYEES with all its data in the logical standby database by using the >DBMS_LOGSTDBY.INSTANTIATE_TABLE procedure. For example:
SQL> EXECUTE DBMS_LOGSTDBY.INSTANTIATE_TABLE(shema_name => 'HR', -
object-_name => 'EMPLOYEES', -
dblink => 'BOSTON');
Start SQL Apply:
SQL> ALTER DATABASE START LOGICAL STANDBY APPLY IMMEDIATE;Regards.
