RE: Database upgrade w/ standby

Rachel,

The rebuild process is very painful. The database is 560Gb and getting the backup tapes to the DR site and getting the standby instance built before there are "too many" redo logs (for the I/O channel) to apply can be problematic. However, the more I think about it, the more a rebuild seems to be the only choice. Any other options out there?

Michael,

Why not just rebuild the standby database from a backup of the upgraded production database?

Or am I missing something here?
