Abstract:
Managing, safe guarding and making critical data available even in the event of natural catastrophe and giving many users access to the database concurrently is a challenging job. We wish to make the data available to users irrespective of their geographical location and allow many users to access the centralized database concurrently.

Two enabling oracle technologies that this thesis addresses are standby database and real application clusters. Standby database is the technology that is used to make an exact copy of the database, which is a real time copy of the database and is completely updated as the user makes changes to the actual database. An important thing to note here is – our “backup” copy of the database is separated geographically so that we could save our critical data in case of natural calamities. The second technology, which allows multiple users to access the centralized database and also serves the purpose of accessing the centrally kept data, is Real Application Clusters. The thesis will discuss in some detail how to use these two oracle technologies.
