I agree with the other comments regarding having a standby that is planned for use as a failover on a different box. However, we've been considering having a logical standby on the same box, where its purpose would be simply a reporting database. - Maureen Howard Latham wrote:
Oracle 10g and 11g. REDHAT LInux I have just been told by a consultant that a standby on the same box as a primary is not recommended.(We also have a standby on another box) My feeling is that will speedup a rebuild should we ever have to switch over and switch back.Any views?
