Difference between Physical Standby and Logical Standby DB

Difference between Physical Standby and Logical Standby DB Physical standby: ============ 1. Physical standby schema matches exactly the source database. 2. Archived redo logs and FTP’ed directly to the standby database which is always running in “recover” mode. Upon arrival, the archived redo logs are applied directly to the standby database. Logical standby: =========== 1. Logical standby database does not have to match the schema structure of the source database. 2. Logical standby uses LogMiner techniques to transform the archived redo logs into native DML statements (insert, update, delete). This DML is transported and applied to the standby database. 3. Logical standby tables can be open for SQL queries (read only), and all other standby tables can be open for updates. 4. Logical standby database can have additional materialized views and indexes added for faster performance. DIFFERENCE ========= The difference between physical and logical standby is in t

Job description and Role of Oracle DBA

 Job description and Role of Oracle DBA I found this Article long back hope sharing with you this is amazing work for the people who wants to know the job description and role of Oracle DBA How many of you began your IT career with a job where you (or you were a pmi of as mall team that) "designed" tables to hold data and wrote SQL statements to manipulate (Insert, Update or Delete) or query the data? Without reference to potential future needs for "enhancements"? Without considering how data integrity would be enforced? Without a strategy to backup and recover the data?
