Oracle Database 12c: RAC and Grid Infrastructure Administration — Question 100

A Data Guard environment has this configuration and these attributes:
1. A primary database
2. A Physical Standby Database named sbdb
3. The configuration is in maximum availability protection mode.
Then sbdb is converted to a snapshot standby database.
When two statements are true?

Answer options

• A. Sdbd can still apply redo.
• B. The recovery point objective increases.
• C. The protection mode is lowered to maximum performance.
• D. The recovery time objective increases.
• E. Sbdb can still receive redo

Correct answer: D, E

Explanation

When sbdb is converted to a snapshot standby database, it can still receive redo, making statement E true. However, because it can operate in read-only mode, the recovery time objective increases due to potential delays in applying changes, making statement D true. Other options are incorrect as they misrepresent the behavior of a snapshot standby database.
