Hello All,

Good Morning!!
Hope every one is doing great this Morning.

As I am a new DBA, a simple question strikes me this morning.
What is the main purpose of cloning a database. Is the main purpose of the
database is to provide a database failover ??
If that is case then we can go for a dataguard. Then why should we clone. ??

Thanks

Temples & Softwares are more or less the same, first we build them and then
we pray ;)
