Hello everyone,
I am trying to use the standby database of a dataguard configuration to create another standalone database, basically a development database refresh but from the prod standby node to avoid impacting performance on the primary,
I would like to understand the difference between :
- performing the duplicate while the standby is physical standby
- performing the duplicate after converting the standby database to snapshot standby
Is there an advantage or a specific reason one would first convert the standby database to snapshot standby before using it as a source for a duplicate ?
Thanks for your help !
