Hi damorgan,
Sorry to reopen this thread but can you please point to the documentation your refer to?
I went through this scenario on my 11R1 data guard setup and had different outcome.
insert into tabb values (1,'aedfgadg');
insert into tabb values (2,'adfkafgafdadf');
commit;
create restore point restore_me;
insert into tabb values (3,'sabjadfjdfjasdvgjasdfav');
insert into tabb values (4,'asd,fbadmfbadbfadbfafa');
insert into tabb values (5,'dddddddddddddddddddd');
commit;Then I flashback to restore_me and after open reset logs I query the database. Only first two rows are there. Also media recovery is broken.
I open readonly standby and query the table. All five rows are there. Obviously the flashback has not affected standby.
I logged a call with Oracle and they advised that I have to manually flashback standby database to that point in time. same applies to 11R2.
Thanks,
Ali
