Hi, This question might seem a bit obvious for many of you, I'm just trying to figure out which would be the best way to clone a database using the physical standby (so i don't need to touch prod) into a test environment. I was thinking about the following steps: - Stopping the physical standby - Copying the files across to the test environment - Restarting the physical standby (so it gets in sync again) - Recreating the control file in test and starting up the db. Would this, roughly, be correct? Thanks for your help. David
