Difference between physical standby database and Data Guard

Hi guys,
Today I attended one interview. They asked me a difference between the Oracle Physical Standby database and Oracle Dataguard?
Upto my knowledge Oracle Physical Standby Database is one type of Standby Database can be configured using Oracle Databaguard Feature.
Can you people calrify me on this.
Regards,
Vijayaraghavan K

hello,
yes you are right upto some extent...here is para form oracle doc
Oracle Data Guard is the most effective and comprehensive
data availability, data protection, and disaster recovery solution
for enterprise databases. It provides the management, monitoring,
and automation software infrastructure to create and maintain one
or more synchronized standby databases to protect data from failures,
disasters, errors, and corruptions.
Data Guard standby databases can be located at remote disaster
recovery sites thousands of miles away from the production data center,
or they may be located in the same city, same campus,
or even in the same building. If the production database
becomes unavailable because of a planned or an unplanned outage,
Data Guard can switch any standby database to the production role,
thus minimizing downtime and preventing any data loss.oracle data guard is maximum availiblity solution which maintain physical standby databases and in case of failure of production can switch production role to and standby database.

  • Info on licensing issues of standby databases/Oracle Data Guard

    Hi All,
    Could anyone possibly give me some information on licensing issues of standby databases/Oracle Data Guard? Links to some electronic articles or journals might be useful. I am unable to find the appropriate info and need this quite urgently for my dissertation asap as my deadline is this approaching.
    Thanks in advance

    Paul Drake posted a reply to a similar question on the Oracle-L mailing list that pointed out that the License Agreement
    http://oraclestore.oracle.com/OA_HTML/ibeCCtpSctDspRte.jsp?media=os_local_license_agreement&section=11365&minisite=10021&respid=22372&grp=STORE&language=US
    states, in part,
    "Failover: Your license for the following programs, Oracle Database (Enterprise Edition, Standard Edition or Standard Edition One) and Oracle Internet Application Server (Enterprise Edition, Standard Edition, Standard Edition One or Java Edition) includes the right to run the licensed program(s) on an unlicensed spare computer in a failover environment for up to a total of ten separate days in any given calendar year. Any use beyond the right granted in the previous sentence must be licensed separately and the same license metric must be used when licensing the program(s)."
    which seems to open a bit of wiggle room depending on how the term "run" is defined. This is probably also an area where your Oracle sales rep may have a little more flexibility to negotiate

  • Creating standby database using data guard.

    Current Env:
    Oracle 11.2.0.1
    ASM
    Size 1.7T and growing.
    I'm rebuilding a standby database and need to use rman because of a few factors. In the past, I did a file copy create a standby control file config init.ora and it always worked.
    We have a database and had the stanby build; but someone issued a flashback and corrupted the standby database.
    Because of the size 1.7T and growing and we are now using ASM.
    My research is only showing building standby through rman using dupicate database command.
    I would like to copy the cold backup to a external drive and ship it to the standby site where I'll do the restore. This is because of time and bandwith required to rebuild the standby will interfere with operaitions for the period the files are being copied.
    So what would be the high level steps.
    1) get the cold backup
    2) create the standby control file
    3) ship the data via corrier
    4) restore the database
    5) and this is where i'm not sure. recover the standby control file - but during the restore of the database the "normal" control file will open and perhaps do a checkpoint. therefore the standby controlfile will be usless.
    6) recover the standby database.
    Has anyone accomplished this?
    As much specifics will be helpful. This system is operational and needs to be done right the first time.
    thanks,
    -Rob

    Thank you.
    1) I'm going to off load the cold backup to an external drive and have a courier take it to the DR site.
    Why, we are replicating the SAN over to the DR site. When SAN replication backs up Oracle becomes non-responsive. Therefore; sending the data over the pipe is not an option for the standby rebuild. Yea' that's the easy way to do it. But this system is operational and critical to operations; so we will not risk saturating the pipe for any period of time. The pipe got saturated one time and it was not pretty.
    2) I'm running the test in my lab to make sure I can create the standby database using the cold backup and rman.
    3) In the past it was easy; I got a cold backup of the data files using the same ksh scripts that have been working for 20 years. Copy the files over to the standby site, and put it into managed recovery. This technique has been working fine sense Oracle 8i days. ASM through a huge monkey wrench in the ksh script backup and now I'm forced to use rman. Hey, I'm told it's an okay product but when it comes to backups I never get fancy; that just makes things more complicated. Okay I wont complain about asm anymore, i guess there is an advantage in there somewhere.

  • Switchover of a manual standby database (no data guard)

    Hi all,
    I have a standby database .
    I am using Oracle Standard Edition 10.2.0.4 / 10.2.0.5 so I have build a manual standby .
    I am able to do a failover in the case something goes wrong; I was thinking if it is possible to do a manual switchover . and failback.
    Do you thick that mounting the primary database and applying ALL archivelogs and online redolog to the standby database is enough ?
    Do you think this is a supported operation?
    How can I check the current scn of a mounted database? (v$database.current_scn shows 0 until the database is opened )
    thnk you for every answer
    Andrea

    helter_skelter wrote:
    hi,
    You can see current_scn of standby database in v$database.current_scn. It is null only on primary database if it's in mount state.that's the problem: I am unable to mount both database and to check they have the same current_scn
    not all changes are written to ARL so you can't recover standby database to exact the same SCN as primaryI thinks this is because the last changes are only recorder in online redolog, so I was thinking that a possible way to simulate a clean switchover could be as follow:
    1 - shutdown immediate the primary database on server prod1
    2 - shutdown abort the (manual) standby database on server dr2
    3 - copy archivelog, controlfiles, tempfiles, onlinelogs from primary to the standby database
    3 - copy controlfiles from standby database to primary database
    4 - open the database on server dr2. It should open "read write" cleanly (mount + recover from archivelog + recover from onlinelog + open noresetlogs )
    5 - mount the database on server prod1. It should mount as a physical standby database.
    What do you think about it?
    thanks,

  • SID NAME FOR PRODUCTION & STANDBY DATABASE IN DATA GUARD

    Hi all,
    we are trying to implement Standby database (Physical) between two

  • Goldengate from physical standby with Active data guard or from logical standby - which is better?

    Hi,
    We have Oracle 11.2.0.4 and are currently using Active Data Guard on a physical standby. My boss wants me to use Goldengate
    to replicate several schema from Oracle to SqlSserver. She doesn't want to touch the Primary, which is in production. Would it be better
    to setup a Logical standby for Goldendate to use, in addition to the Physical standby? Or will it be sufficient to use the Physical standby?
    The application tables don't all have primary keys. I'm trying to decide if the Logical standby adds another layer of complexity or would
    introduce delays in getting the data from Oracle to Sqlserver.
    Thanks in advance,

    Hi,
    In this case I recommend you to use physical standby + Golden gate with ALO mode. You might have sligthly more trouble in logical standby. it means you might have more trouble at Goldengate's extract side.
    You said
    The application tables don't all have primary keys.
    so you have to add keycols on replicat side.
    I recommend you to add an index which should consist of keycols columns. it will be necessary for replicat performance.

  • What is the difference between /assets/account/import and /data/account ?

    Does anybody knows what is the use of /assets/account/import and /data/account.
    What is the difference between these two and their functional use.
    thanks

    /assets/account/import is used in the context of performing account file uploads through the E10 UI. If you navigate to Contacts > Accounts > and click Upload in the top right corner (above search), you'll get the upload wizard:
    The moment you click the cloud icon and select a file, two actions take place:
    1) POST to /assets/account/import is made, where you are passing the name, import source and purpose of the import. The response includes the id of the new import object you created
    2) Another POST to /assets/account/import/{id}/csv is made, which includes the data in your chosen file
    Afterwards, you perform the mappings and go to step 4 of the wizard. When you click Finish, another two actions take place:
    1) PUT /assets/account/import/{id} to update the import definition with your mappings from Step 3
    2) POST to /assets/account/import/{id}/queue to send this import into the import/upload queue. At this point it becomes visible from Setup > Integration > Inbound > Reporting > Upload History
    Note that this workflow is not meant for client use, but rather helps facilitate UI functionality for marketing users. You should be using Bulk API to add or update records, which also confers other advantages such as the ability to use syncActions. The only functionality not available in Bulk API which is available through this workflow is the ability to delete Accounts. For obvious reasons, its recommend that you do NOT automate the deletion of any records. Accounts especially are not subject to any band limits or rates, so its best to have Marketers remove them as needed.
    Regarding the second part of your question, the /data/accounts endpoint will provide you with up to 1000 account records when using GET. A POST can also be made to create a new account record (company) within Eloqua. Otherwise, GET /data/account/{id} will retrieve the details of a particular record and PUT /data/account{id} will update a particular.

  • Difference between cellular/voice network and data network?

    Hey guys, so I'm trying to learn this, any help would be greatly appreciated.
    What is the difference between cellular networks (I assume voice calls) and data networks (sending and recieving data, like using apps, etc.) for each of the different carriers?
    I tried researching this up, but with absolutely no luck. Any help towards understanding cellular networks and the difference if any between it and data networks would be helpful! If you can point me in the right direction, it would help too!
    Also, in the presence of a voice network but no data network, can data still be transmitted? Any values for speed for the major carriers?

    Try "Cellular voice vs data" as a Google search.

    hi
    I myself have found the solution , when I recover the standby database
    it do recovery but at the end of recovery it raise the error(RMAN-06054: media recovery requesting unknown log: thread 1
    seq 118 lowscn 1392700) but if I begain redo apply before open the database
    and I wait till all redo apply process start and communication between the
    standby database and the primary database start, then I can
    open the standby database and no error will raise
    but if befor restarting redo apply I open the database I'll recieve the
    ORA-01152: file 1 was not restored from a sufficiently old backup
    ORA-01110: data file 1: '/u01/app/oracle/oradata/sari/system01.dbf' error

  • How to check data in physical standby database?

    Hi!
    I'm maintaining physical standby database system. everyday, i must check tranfer and apply progress. I known, it operate very good. No archive gap is found.
    But i want to check data in physical standby database that there is consistant with primary database, there isn't? What method do I use? How to do?
    thankS

    I hope the following will help
    Verifying the Physical Standby Database
    ==========================================
    Once you create the physical standby database and set up log transport services, you may want verify that database modifications are being successfully shipped from the primary database to the standby database.
    To see the new archived redo logs that were received on the standby database, you should first identify the existing archived redo logs on the standby database, archive a few logs on the primary database, and then check the standby database again. The following steps show how to perform these tasks.
    Step 1 Identify the existing archived redo logs.
    On the standby database, query the V$ARCHIVED_LOG view to identify existing archived redo logs. For example:
    SQL> SELECT SEQUENCE#, FIRST_TIME, NEXT_TIME
    2 FROM V$ARCHIVED_LOG ORDER BY SEQUENCE#;
    SEQUENCE# FIRST_TIME NEXT_TIME
    8 11-JUL-02 17:50:45 11-JUL-02 17:50:53
    9 11-JUL-02 17:50:53 11-JUL-02 17:50:58
    10 11-JUL-02 17:50:58 11-JUL-02 17:51:03
    3 rows selected.
    Step 2 Archiving the current log.
    On the primary database, archive the current log using the following SQL statement:
    SQL> ALTER SYSTEM ARCHIVE LOG CURRENT;
    Step 3 Verify that the new archived redo log was received.
    On the standby database, query the V$ARCHIVED_LOG view to verify the redo log was received:
    SQL> SELECT SEQUENCE#, FIRST_TIME, NEXT_TIME
    2> FROM V$ARCHIVED_LOG ORDER BY SEQUENCE#;
    SEQUENCE# FIRST_TIME NEXT_TIME
    8 11-JUL-02 17:50:45 11-JUL-02 17:50:53
    9 11-JUL-02 17:50:53 11-JUL-02 17:50:58
    10 11-JUL-02 17:50:58 11-JUL-02 17:51:03
    11 11-JUL-02 17:51:03 11-JUL-02 18:34:11
    4 rows selected.
    The logs are now available for log apply services to apply redo data to the standby database.
    Step 4 Verify that the new archived redo log was applied.
    On the standby database, query the V$ARCHIVED_LOG view to verify the archived redo log was applied.
    SQL> SELECT SEQUENCE#,APPLIED FROM V$ARCHIVED_LOG
    2 ORDER BY SEQUENCE#;
    SEQUENCE# APP
    8 YES
    9 YES
    10 YES
    11 YES
    4 rows selected.

  • Physical standby database

    My physical standby database is on Win 2003 server, Oracle version is 9.2.0.3.
    Windows team asked me to shutdown the standby database and i did the same. After server reboot i put the standby in managed recovery mode but logs were not shipping even though i gave log switches at the primary side.
    I executed the below command
    startup nomount
    alter database mount standby database;
    alter database recover managed standby database disconnect from session;
    I again bounced the standby database but this time i gave
    recover managed standby database disconnect from session;
    Instead of alter database recover managed...
    Below are the logs from alert log file of the primary database

    ARC1: Complete FAL archive (thread 1 sequence 19165 destination T_STANDBYALERTSP)
    could some one let me know the difference between specifying alter database and not specifying alter database???

    There's no difference, two ways to reach the same target. 'Recover' (without alter database) is listed as pure sqlplus statement and 'alter database recover' an option of the 'alter database' statement.

  • Failover To Physical Standby Database

    We have 3 node RAC 11.2.0.3 Primary database data guarded to a 3 node RAC 11.2.0.3 Standby database. There is an activity scheduled to perform some of order extracts in the database which is going to result in a lot of changes. Currently the discussion is on whether what should be the quickest way to go back to a point in time before the extract process starts in case of any issues. The options that we are looking at are:
    1) Create a guaranteed restore point on both the Primary and Standby and use this to flashback the database (Quick but we have had issues where in the guaranteed restore point still does not guarantee the availability of the flashback logs) - Tested
    2) Use RMAN backup from a day before to restore and recover to point in time before the extract process began (Time consuming) - Tested
    3) Use export backup to perform a redirected restore i.e import the data from before the extract process (Time consuming) - Tested
    4) Create a guaranteed restore point on both Primary and Standby, stop the Redo Apply/Ship at the time we create the guaranteed restore point and at a point we face some issue and need to go back, simply failover to the physical standby database and then reinstate the new standby database - This has not been tested yet but seems a viable option
    With regard to the point 4, note that we are not concerned about data loss as the whole point of stopping the redo apply is to prevent the standby to be caught up with Primary during the run of the extract process. The question is whether the dataguard broker will allow failover of the primary to standby, in a situation described in bullet point 4). Please advice.

  • Creaton of Standby database and dataguard broker

    Hi Experts,
    I am using Linux with Oracle version 11gR2. We have planned to create a physical standby database and also configure dataguard broker for the standby database.
    Also, I've read the documents that active dataguard is a feature on 11g. Is it not possible on 10g ?
    Can someone please provide me the steps to create the standby database and configure the dataguard broker.

    Hello;
    A simple Data Broker setup would be :
    On both Primary and Standby sites, change the initialization parameter in the spfile to enable the Data guard broker.
    SQL> Alter system set dg_broker_start=True scope=both;
    On the PRIMARY site, open the ‘cmd’ and start Command Line Interface (CLI) of the Dataguard Broker (DGMGRL).
    /home/oracle:PRIMARY >dgmgrl
    DGMGRL for Linux: Version 11.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production
    DGMGRL> connect sys/password@PRIMARY
    Create broker configuration.
    DGMGRL> create configuration ‘broker1’ as
    primary database is 'PRIMARY'
    connect identifier is primary;Configuration "?broker1?" created with primary database "PRIMARY"
    DGMGRL>
    (‘primary’ in Connect identifier is the service name through which the broker is connected to the PRIMARY database)
    Add Standby Database to the above configuration.
    DGMGRL> add database 'standby' as
    connect identifier is 'STANDBY'
    maintained as physical;
    Database "standby" added
    (‘to_standby’ in Connect identifier is the service name through which the broker is connected to the STANDBY database)
    Now the configuration has been set up but it is still disabled. You can view the configuration by executing:
    DGMGRL> show configuration
    The next step is to ENABLE the configuration ‘broker1’.
    DGMGRL> enable configuration;
    Enabled.
    Again view the configuration.
    DGMGRL> show configuration
    Configuration - ?broker1?
      Protection Mode: MaxPerformance
      Databases:
        PRIMARY - Primary database
        standby - Physical standby database
    Fast-Start Failover: DISABLED
    Configuration Status:
    SUCCESSIn my humble opinion its a good idea to setup Data Guard without Broker and get the "feel" of it first.
    Remember, once you setup Broker, you cannot use SQL to change your Data Guard setup.

  • Download between Oracle 9i Database and Oracle 9i DS

    I have download the files for Windows 2000.
    Oracle 9i Database version 9.0.2.1
    Oracle 9i DS version 9.0.2
    Download Date: June 7, 2002
    These from what I can tell are the lates versions on the website. I installed the database and everything went in fine. I can work with the database and everything. When I use the Universal Installer for Oracle 9i DS, I get an error when it hits 31% that states that this version of DS will not work with a database that is of version 9.0.2.1 or greater.
    If anyone can help me it would be a great help,
    Greg

    Hi,
    Your question is the answer. Oracle9i Database manages all your eBusiness data and Oracle9iAS runs all your eBusiness
    applications. In a 3 tier architecture, Oracle9i Database fits in the Database tier where as Oracle9iAS fits in the middle
    tier. Oracle9iAS provides an infrastructure to run different types of applications(J2EE thru OC4J, Forms applns, Portal
    based applns, Wireless applns etc..)
    Cheers !
