Standby db tutorials
Practical examples of Oracle's DataGuard Technology
This section, standby db tutorials aims to give you
real-life examples and practical advice on
setting up and maintaining Oracle's standby database technology, now called
Oracle Data Guard.
Standby databases are no longer very complex to set up.
By using Data Guard Broker, all the hard work is done for you in the background,
and all you have to do is click a few buttons.
If you would rather get your hands dirty, this is the place for you.
The tutorials below will take you through all the steps needed to set up and maintain an Oracle standby database.
The examples are all related to a physical standby database, not a logical one.
Standby databases are really Oracle's gift to the DBA community.
Gone are the days where hardware failure meant days of restoring backup
files from tapes,
which were probably far away in an offsite vault,
while hoping that the tapes were not corrupt and that no bug had crept
into your backup routine.
With a standby database in place, you can be up and running in no time,
minimizing the impact on your users and their businesses.
