Depends on what you mean by "online standby database". Are you referring to the standby database functionality where a copy of the database is kept on another machine in recovery mode, with archived redo logs being shipped to the other machine and applied? If so, the standby is kept mounted but not open, so it's not really online. Prior to 8i, if you opened the standby it was no longer of any use as a standby. In 8i, you can open the standby in query only mode, then return it to the mounted state.

If you want the "standby" to be online (i.e. people can access it), then you need to look at another approach to copying the data between the two databases such as replication.
