Oracle dataguard vs active dataguard clarification
Hello,
We have dataguard configure on 11GR2 . We have 1 standby database running in remote server. We would like to temporarily open it in read only mode to check the consistency . My question is , does enabling standby database in read only mode without apply , require active dataguard license. The process , I am thinking is as follows
ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED
Oracle instance CANCEL;
open read only;
run required queries.
shutdown database
startup mount
ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED Oracle instance DISCONNECT FROM SESSION;
Does this require additional license?
Thanks
Ram
