Oracle 11g中的snapshot standby特性
在Oracle 11g中,data guard最吸引人的,除了active data guard的实时查询特性(即可以以只读方式打开物理standby数据库的同时MRP进程能继续做recover),快照备用数据库这个特性也是不错,比较适用于快速部署一个临时的与线上环境相同的测试数据库.它是通过还原点(restore point)和闪回数据库的原理(flashback database),可以以读/写方式打开物理备用数据库,对数据库进行修改,之后再根据还原点,恢复到物理备用数据库。
操作相当简单,以下测试:
一.物理备用数据库到快照备用数据库
--查看当前备用数据库的角色
SQL> select open_mode,database_role from v$database;
OPEN_MODE DATABASE_ROLE
-------------------- ----------------
READ ONLY WITH APPLY PHYSICAL STANDBY
--关闭并启动到mount
SQL> shutdown immediate;
Database closed.
Database dismounted.
ORACLE instance shut down.
SQL> startup mount;
ORACLE instance started.

--转换物理standby到快照standby
SQL> alter database convert to snapshot standby;
Database altered.
SQL> select status from v$instance;
STATUS
------------

SQL> alter database open;
Database altered.
--查看当前备用数据库的角色
SQL> select open_mode,database_role from v$database;
OPEN_MODE DATABASE_ROLE
-------------------- ----------------
READ WRITE SNAPSHOT STANDBY
--可以看到,oracle 有建了一个还原点
SQL> select name,storage_size from v$restore_point;

SQL> create table scott.test02 as select * from dba_objects;
Table created.
SQL> select count(1) from scott.test02;

二.快照备用数据库到物理备用数据库
--查看当前备用数据库的角色
SQL> select open_mode,database_role from v$database;
OPEN_MODE DATABASE_ROLE
-------------------- ----------------
MOUNTED SNAPSHOT STANDBY
--关闭并启动到mount
SQL> shutdown immediate;

READ ONLY WITH APPLY PHYSICAL STANDBY
--查看在快照standby时建的测试表已经不存在了
SQL> select * from scott.test02;
select * from scott.test02

备注:
物理standby是最高保护模式(maximum protection),是不能转换为snapshot standby的.
物理standby使用了standby redo log,在create restore point后,要alter system switch logfile;,以保证还原点的scn在物理standby库上是
归档的,不然可能无法成功闪回到还原点.
物理standby在切换为快照standby后,如果间隔很长时间,primary数据库产生的大量的重做日志,这样可以在转换为物理standby后,通过
对primary数据库的增量备份并recover到物理standby,来加快物理standby的还原速度.
