Opening Standby for Read only.

edited Jan 17, 2013 12:41PM in High Availability Data Guard, Sharding and Global Data Services (MOSC) 9 commentsAnswered
Background:We have an Application, connection of which points to both ( Primary and Standby ) Database's.  We have a requirement to open the standby database for read only access to certain users.

Question is when we open the standby environment will the application try to connect to the standby database as well?

Case Scenario:-

Application -> Tns Entry ( Active / Standby )

Current :-

Since Standby is not open the application can connect only to the primary database.

Proposed :-

When the standby is open for read only access will the application try to connect to both or will it always try to connect to the database that is read / write?

Howdy, Stranger!
