The first thing that comes to mind is the datafile header.
I'm too lazy too look it up myself ( ;) ), but you might want
to consider header data that would cause the primary
db to reject the file.

Standby DB

Am I an Idiot?
I've maintained a Managed Standby database (8.1.6 under Win2k) for a year
now. We've now moved to new servers (8.1.7.2.5 under Win2k) and will again
have both Primary (Production) and Managed Standby databases.
In planning a new backup stragegy, it occurs to me (why not ever before?)
that I should be able to use the datafiles of my Standby DB (along with the
Primary's archived and online redo logs) to recover my Primary DB in the
event of media failure.
In the event of a drive failure on the Primary server, shouldn't I be able
to shutdown the Standby DB and copy it's relevant datafiles to the Primary,
then use the Primary's archived and online redo logs to recover those
datafiles to the point of drive failure?
It makes sense to me, but nowhere in the docs have I found mention that
this
is an appropriate action. Am I missing something?
