Open physical standby for read write testing

edited Jun 25, 2009 2:25AM in High Availability Data Guard, Sharding and Global Data Services (MOSC) 5 commentsAnswered

 Hi, I have just read doc id 805438.1 "How to open Physical Standby for read write testing and flashback" and corresponding chapter 12;6 in Data Guard Concepts and Administration 10G Release 2.
I have a physical standby database running in Oracle 10.2.0.4 in Maximum Performance with standby redologs.
It seems to me the procedure given doesn't guarantee that the activated database will be in sync with the primary database when activated.

The procedure includes  activating the standby database using "alter database activate standby database" after cancel of media recovery "alter database recover managed standby database cancel".

I have read in the failover chapter that you issue ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE FINISH FORCE in order to finish the recovery.

Howdy, Stranger!
