RE: Standby on Same box

I totally agree with this.
 
Plus you drag down resources on the box having two db on it.

What is the purpose of the standby that is on the same box? It's not very useful for disaster recovery, which is the original intent for Standbys.

What do you mean by this statement?

My feeling is that will speedup a rebuild should we ever have to switch over and switch back.

I have just been told by a consultant that a standby on the same box as a primary is not recommended.(We also have a standby on another box) My feeling is that will speedup a rebuild should we ever have to switch over and switch back.Any views?
