How To Open The Standby Database When The Primary Is Lost in oracle11g ?

How To Open The Standby Database When The Primary Is Lost in oracle11g ?
July 02, 2020


Scenario:- So this scenario shows how to open your standby database in read/write mode when you dont have any access(Lost) on primary database.
Here i'm trying to make a test case to demonstrate the following scenario.Currenly both primary and standby database are in sync.

Oracle version :-  11.2.0.1.0
Primary Database : prim
Standby Database : stand

At primary database:-
SYS @ catdb >select thread#,max(sequence#) from v$archived_log group by thread#;

   THREAD# MAX(SEQUENCE#)
---------- --------------
         1             26
  
  
At standby database:-
SYS @ catdb >select thread#,max(sequence#) from v$archived_log group by thread#;

   THREAD# MAX(SEQUENCE#)
---------- --------------
         1             26

So at this situation we totally power off the primary database server to test the scenario.

At primary:-
SYS @ catdb >shut immediate;
Database closed.
Database dismounted.
ORACLE instance shut down.
SYS @ catdb >exit

[root@server1 ~]# poweroff

Now at standby database:-
Open the database in mount stage.
SYS @ catdb >shut immediate;
Database closed.
Database dismounted.
ORACLE instance shut down.

SQL:> startup mount
ORACLE instance started.

Total System Global Area  413372416 bytes
Fixed Size                  2213896 bytes
Variable Size             310380536 bytes
Database Buffers           96468992 bytes
Redo Buffers                4308992 bytes
Database mounted.

SYS @ catdb >SELECT OPEN_MODE,PROTECTION_MODE,DATABASE_ROLE FROM V$DATABASE;

OPEN_MODE            PROTECTION_MODE      DATABASE_ROLE
-------------------- -------------------- ----------------
MOUNTED              MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE  PHYSICAL STANDBY


Finish the Recovery process in standby database:-
SQL>ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE FINISH;

Database altered.

Once done, now activate the standby database:-
SYS @ catdb >ALTER DATABASE ACTIVATE PHYSICAL STANDBY DATABASE;

Database altered.

Check the status:-
SYS @ catdb >SELECT OPEN_MODE,PROTECTION_MODE,DATABASE_ROLE FROM V$DATABASE;

OPEN_MODE            PROTECTION_MODE      DATABASE_ROLE
-------------------- -------------------- ----------------
MOUNTED              MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE  PRIMARY


Now open the database in read/write mode.
SYS @ catdb >ALTER DATABASE OPEN;

Database altered.

SYS @ catdb >select open_mode from v$database;

OPEN_MODE
--------------------
READ WRITE

SYS @ catdb >SELECT OPEN_MODE,PROTECTION_MODE,DATABASE_ROLE FROM V$DATABASE;

OPEN_MODE            PROTECTION_MODE      DATABASE_ROLE
-------------------- -------------------- ----------------
READ WRITE           MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE  PRIMARY


So, finally the previous standby database is now a new primary database with read/write mode in open stage.

Script to delete multiple tables using a single query

Monitoring Temporary tablespace usage using shell script

Monitoring Temporary tablespace usage using shell script

The following script will report if temporary tablespace  hits 80% of its usage.

From oracle user:
[oracle@server1 ~]$ vi /home/oracle/check_temp_tbs.sql

select a.tablespace_name tablespace,
         d.TEMP_TOTAL_MB,
         sum (a.used_blocks * d.block_size) / 1024 / 1024 TEMP_USED_MB,
         d.TEMP_TOTAL_MB - sum (a.used_blocks * d.block_size) / 1024 / 1024 TEMP_FREE_MB
from v$sort_segment a,
        (
          select   b.name, c.block_size, sum (c.bytes) / 1024 / 1024 TEMP_TOTAL_MB
          from     v$tablespace b, v$tempfile c
          where    b.ts#= c.ts#
          group by b.name, c.block_size
        ) d
where    a.tablespace_name = d.name
group by a.tablespace_name, d.TEMP_TOTAL_MB;

Now lets create the shell-script which will monitor the space usage of temp tablespaces:-
From oracle user

[oracle@server1 ~]$ vi /home/oracle/alert_temp.sh
#!/bin/bash
export ORACLE_SID=catdb
sqlplus -S / as sysdba @/home/oracle/check_temp_tbs.sql > /home/oracle/temptbs.txt

What is Standby snapshot Database?

What is Standby snapshot Database?

Oracle provides an unique feature where the physical standby database can be opened in READ WRITE mode to perform update able transactions.

A snapshot standby database is a fully updatable standby database that is created by converting a physical standby database into a snapshot standby database. A snapshot standby database

receives and archives, but does not apply redo data from a primary database. Redo data received from the primary database is applied when a snapshot standby database is converted back

into a physical standby database, after discarding all local updates to the snapshot standby database.

A snapshot standby database typically diverges from its primary database over time because redo data from the primary database is not applied as it is received. Local updates to the

snapshot standby database will cause additional divergence. The data in the primary database is fully protected however, because a snapshot standby can be converted back into a

physical standby database at any time, and the redo data received from the primary will then be applied.

A snapshot standby database will allow you to make use of the data available on the physical standby database (which is the same data of the primary database), which allows the users

to test the application on a standby database which has the primary database's data before implementing it into production environment. Whenever a physical standby database is converted

into a snapshot standby database, a guaranteed restore point is automatically created. Once when the updateable transactions are completed for testing purposes on the snapshot standby

database and when you are converting back the snapshot standby to physical standby, oracle flashbacks to the restore point that was created earlier which means the transactions

which were made in standby database while it was open in READ WRITE mode will be flushed out.

The only requirement to have the snapshot standby is that FRA (Flash Recovery Area) must be configured on physical standby database. It is not necessary to have flashback enabled.

The error shows that the undo tablespace is in use.
Now to drop the current undo tablespace we need to create another undo tablespace and make it a default one.
