How do you do to prevent the standby database to open ?

Hi,

We are migrating our databases to 19c (in Windows 2K16 environment) and usually, in order not to use the physical standby dataguard, we were using a particular hidden parameter (I know we should not ... but ...) : _query_on_physical = false to prevent the standby database to be opened, and to stay only mounted.

But on one database, this parameter does not work anymore.

For example, I have two database DB01 and DB02, DB01 is my primary, DB02 is the standby and we are also using a broker.

When I issue a switchover from DB01 to DB02, DB02 becomes the primary and is opened and DB01 becomes the standby and it should not open. And effectively, it is in mount mode.

Howdy, Stranger!
