Re: Backup and Recovery OCP Exam

Standby Databases are covered in Chapter 14 of the Oracle Course (the course slides are available for download at the address below). That chapter *used* to be an optional one in Oracle 8, but is now not marked as such. The OCP exams usually follow the Oracle course material very closely. I would therefore prepare yourself to answer a question or two (at most).

You may get lucky, of course, and have Mr. Probability save the day by there not being any questions.

But the general rule of thumb is that if it's mentioned in the course material, you should expect to be questioned on it.

Oh -incidentally, for fairly obvious reasons of practicality, Chapter 14 doesn't go into enormous depth on the subject -but there are some quite hairy issues around what invalidates the standby, and how you get a new tablespace/datafile created in the primary over to the standby. I recommend the course slides by way of a primer.
