Logical standby -Online index creation in schemas protected by GUARD=STANDBY

in High Availability Data Guard, Sharding and Global Data Services (MOSC) 6 commentsAnswered

Hi all

I'm planning index maintenance on indexes on primary. To avoid lag on logical standby my plan is to skip index maintenance statements (CRETE INDEX, ALTER INDEX) on the tables using DBMS_LOGSTDBY.SKIP (stmt=> 'INDEX'...) and create those indexes as privileges user on logical standby while apply is running.

Can indexes be created online on tables protected by GUARD=STANDBY? It is technically possible, but is that approach supported? Are you aware of any risks? 

In example I found in documentation logical standby apply is stopped during index creation, but I'm not sure if it is mandatory to stop it.

Howdy, Stranger!
