The folks at Dbvisit recently released version 9 of their Dbvisit standby product.
It’s been a while since I last played with the product, so I downloaded the free trial and gave it a whirl.
I have to admit I forgot just how easy it is to work with. It feels pretty much like “unzip and go”. The result of my playtime was this article.
I also knocked up a Vagrant build, so I can easily recreate it. You can find that here.
I stuck to a basic configuration of a single instance primary (node1) and standby (node2), with the console on a separate VM (console). If you want to try something more exotic, or you are using Windows, you can get more information from the Installing Dbvisit Standby documentation.
Cheers

PS. This isn’t a sponsored post. I’ve known the folks at Dbvisit for years so I keep an eye on what they are doing.
