1.1.1 Determine Support for Data Types and Storage Attributes for Tables
If the primary database contains unsupported tables( log apply ser)ices automatically e*clude the tables when applying redo logs to the logical standby database.

If your application ensures the rows in a table are unique( you can create a disabled primary +ey RELY constraint on the table else create the primary +ey.
