How to connect to standby database after switchover

in High Availability Data Guard, Sharding and Global Data Services (MOSC) 3 commentsAnswered

After switching over from primary to standby, how can I connect my application to standby with the db_name of the primary? What needs to be in the listener.ora and tnsnames.ora files on both hosts? I was always under the impression that you could connect to whichever side was primary with the "normal" primary name of the database.

Howdy, Stranger!
