DataGuard - Standby Database

Hi All,

We have a traditional Dataguard setup with a primary and a physical standby. We are implementing an application onto  our primary database and are DEFERring the (DataGuard) application of archivelogs to the standby database while the  application is implemented and tested (new data added, etc)  on the primary. So we are effectively 'freezing' the standby at a point in time prior to the making of new application/data changes, in case we need to revert to this version of the database  at a later stage.

 

So in the event that  the implementation fails and goes wrong, we would like to make the standby the primary WITHOUT applying any of the application/data changes made to the primary. W
