Howdy experts,
I am looking for a solution to replicate Oracle DB to DR site. My boss
does not want me to use dataguard and is asking me to find a freeware
solution. If anyone of you is aware of some data replication solution
please let me know. I know all about rsync, but he wants something
better than rsync that could replicate data real time.
Any information in this regard will be helpful.

Thanks .

There are very good reasons that rsync does not work in real time.
There are realtime replication solutions - like DRBD. From the tone of
your question your going to have lots of problems when you try to
bring up a database on top of realtime file-level replication that has
unexpectedly stopped.

If you can afford a proper DR solution then you can afford Dataguard,
if you can't afford Dataguard, you won't have realtime failover
capability.

...or migrate your apps to MySQL and use the built-in replication.
