Creating new tables in Logical Standby database

Question

Hi
I have a requirement to create new tables in logical standby database. These tables will not be present on primary database. Is it possible to do this ?
I have a new schema already created which has the privilege to CREATE new table.
I have stopped the logical standby apply.
When I am now trying to create a new table but it is failing with error : insufficient privileges.
When I am trying to run below statement on new schema it is also failing with error of insufficient privileges.
alter session disable dataguard;
Please help.

Thanks Mahir,
I was able to create the table after logging in as sysdba.
But I need my user on that table to execute DML statements. My user has privileges to insert,delete and update any table.
I tried the following statements to disable the guard but it is sill not working
ALTER DATABASE GUARD STANDBY.
Do I need to skip the tables created using dbms_logstdby package to not making it part of SQL Apply ? I guess not since the table is not in primary database.

You can skip only on primary, your created schema on Standby is not in primary.
Then you must change Status of data guard to NONE. NONE is means is not any security on your data.
In Guard status NONE can change all schema data.
Please check link: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e10700/manage_ls.htm#CHDGFGHG
Following tests on user created before guard status is change from ALL to STANDBY.
C:\Users\Administrator>sqlplus / as sysdba
SQL> conn test/test
Connected.
SQL> select table_name from user_tables;
TABLE_NAME
T
SQL> insert into t values(22);
insert into t values(22)
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-16224: Database Guard is enabled
SQL> conn / as sysdba
Connected.
SQL> select guard_Status from  v$database;
GUARD_S
ALL
SQL> alter  database guard standby;
Database altered.
SQL> conn test/test
Connected.
SQL> insert into t values(1);
insert into t values(1)
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-16224: Database Guard is enabled
SQL> conn / as sysdba
Connected.
SQL> select guard_Status from  v$database;
GUARD_S
STANDBY
SQL> alter  database guard none;
Database altered.
SQL> select guard_Status from  v$database;
GUARD_S
NONE
SQL> conn test/test
Connected.
SQL> insert into t values(1);
1 row created.
SQL> commit;
Commit complete.And Now I want share with you new tests :)
Now user creating when after guard status change
SQL> drop  user test cascade;
User dropped.
SQL> select guard_status from v$database;
GUARD_S
STANDBY
SQL> create user test identified by test;
User created.
SQL> grant create session,  resource, create table to test;
Grant succeeded.
SQL> conn test/test
Connected.
SQL> create table t (n number);
Table created.
SQL> insert into t values(1);
1 row created.
SQL> commit;
Commit complete.
SQL>It means when guard status is ALL then all of user created guarding.
When you changed status to STANDBY then Logical Standby guard only primary schema and created schema before change.
NONE is not guard any schema. it means you can delete standby schema data too.
