Not really needed. The DB_UNIQUE_NAME I believe only gets involved in DG and RAC. Nothing to say you can't be a touch more creative. Actually I do something of the sorts. DB_UNIQUE_NAME = DBNAME.SITE.COUNTRY. SO you could have FOX.NEWYORK.US and FOX.LONDON.UK.   Richard Goulet

thanks Richard,

by the way if ever we start to failover the standby database then should we be able to change the db_unique_name to be same as db_name ( as at that point the old primary database is no more in the dataguard configuration )

DB_UNIQUE_NAME must be different between the primart and standby as follows:  

Primary  

Db_name=fox

Standby  

Db_name=fox

Db_unique_name=foxs  

Rather simplistic, but I think you'll catch on.
