I am not sure in active standby (11G), one can do rolling uupgrade of database without nring Oracle downtime for few minutes/seconds. I could not find anything on google for active standby, but for physical standby, see link http://blog.csdn.net/sweethouse1128/article/details/6857571 but it requires some down time. Also I do not know whether SAP Oracle Database can be converted to logical standby. Received on Sun Jun 03 2012 - 07:20:24 CDT
