We are using the Standard edition, so no DataGuard and we would like to have
a standby database.
To simulate a standby, I would like to
- take my daily backup with RMAN
- duplicate a new database on a standby server
- transfer on a regular basis the new archive log files from the production
server to the standby server
- if needed, mount the standby database and recover with the archive log
files transfered from the production server.
My question is : the duplicated database is a new database, will it be
possible to apply the archive log from the production. They will not be the
same DBID.
If not, instead of duplicate a new database, I will only do a normal restore
on the standby server, so it will keep the same DBID and now I will be able
to apply the archive log files. Right?
