Um, in the physical standby case, aren't the archivelogs simply = transferred to the standby server in their entirety? To the best of my = knowledge, physical standby doesn't do logmining, right? Or did something change since I last played w/ this? -Mark Mark J.

Yep, I understand the physical/logical standbys work the same way you described here, but I think redo corruptions are detected in physical = stdby scenario equally as well as in logical standby, because in both cases = the contents of the changes have to be constructed from logfiles, nothing is applied directly just by copying redoblocks...
