Re: Standby Database

Standby databases are only supported between binary compatible systems. That is, both the OS and hardware family must be the same on both the master and standby nodes.

NT-Intel and NT-Alpha are not binary compatible environments, even though you are running the same release of both the OS and Oracle.

If you wish to maintain a standby database for your NT-Alpha machine, you will have to acquire another Alpha.

Hi Gurus,
Forgive me for my naïve question, but I am in the process of learning. I want to know whether we can maintain a standby database on an Intel machine for a production database running on Dec Alpha platform. The version of operating system is the same, Windows NT server 4.0 SP3, and the database version is the same Oracle Server 8.0.5.1.0. Thanks in advance,
Murtaza
