AThe switchover succeeds and Cats becomes the new failover target.

BIt results in an error indicating that a switchover is not allowed.

DThe switchover succeeds and Fast-Start Failover is suspended.

EThe switchover succeeds and Dogs becomes the new failover target.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B, C, E

A snapshot standby database is a fully updateable standby database that is created by converting a physical standby database into a snapshot standby database. The main characteristics of a snapshot standby database include:

B: Tablespaces can indeed be dropped in a snapshot standby database because it is updateable and allows all types of DML and DDL operations that do not conflict with the standby role.

C: Tablespaces can be created in a snapshot standby database for the same reasons that they can be dropped; it supports all operations that do not interfere with its standby nature.

E: Tables can be dropped in a snapshot standby database, as it is a fully updateable standby.

Options A and D are incorrect because 'FAILOVER TO' and 'SWITCHOVER TO' commands are not used with snapshot standby databases in these contexts. A failover converts a standby database into the primary role after the original primary has become unavailable, and is not a reversible role transition. Switchover is a planned role reversal between the primary database and one of its standby databases and is not applicable to snapshot standby databases in the context provided.

Option F is incorrect because a logical standby database cannot be converted into a snapshot standby database directly. A logical standby is used for different purposes such as reporting and querying with real-time data, and its structure is different from a physical standby which can be converted into a snapshot standby.

Wait, what if Dogs is already the target? Wouldn't that change things?

Definitely not A, Cats can't be a failover target!

I feel like the answer might be that it results in an error, but I can't quite place why that would be the case.

If I remember correctly, the switchover should succeed, but I’m uncertain about whether it impacts Fast-Start Failover.

I think I practiced a similar question where the switchover was supposed to succeed, but I can't recall what happens to the failover target.

I remember something about switchover operations, but I'm not sure if it affects the failover target directly.

This seems straightforward. The switchover should succeed, and Cats should become the new failover target, so I'll go with option A.

Based on the information provided, I think the correct answer is option B. A switchover is not allowed in this configuration, as "sheep" is not a valid database instance name.

I'm a bit confused by the configuration diagram. I'll need to make sure I understand the relationships between the different database instances before I can confidently answer this question.

Okay, let's see. The question is asking about the result of issuing "switchover to sheep;" at the DGMGRL prompt. I'll need to think through the different options and choose the one that best fits the given scenario.

I think the key here is to use an Application Group. That way, we can publish the same applications from both sites, but they'll be aggregated and presented as a single set of resources to the users.

Aha! The answer must be E. Dogs becoming the new failover target makes the most sense, even if it's a bit ruff. But hey, at least it's not a cat-astrophe, right?

Hmm, I'm pretty sure the answer is B. A switchover is not allowed with those specific database names. Cats and Dogs? Sounds like a sitcom, not a serious Data Guard configuration!
