Allow updates to HADR Standbys

Allow for updates to be issued on HADR standbys like Informix allows. Here is a extract from the informix manuals:

You can enable applications connected to secondary servers to update database data. If you enable write operations on a secondary server, DELETE, INSERT, MERGE, and UPDATE operations are propagated to the primary server.

Use the UPDATABLE_SECONDARY configuration parameter to control whether the secondary server can update data and to configure the number of connections that update operations use.

Both data definition language (DDL) statements and data manipulation language (DML) statements are supported on secondary servers.

Most applications that use DDL or DML can run on any of the secondary servers in a high-availability cluster; however, the following DDL statements are not supported:

  • CREATE DATABASE (with no logging)

  • CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE

  • CREATE RAW TABLE

  • CREATE TEMP TABLE (with logging)

  • UPDATE STATISTICS
