Hi all,

My boss keep telling me that my company will use standby database. OK, here is the exactlly words- once our production database is down, backup DB will be picking up in 5 min after we apply logs. But he also say, two database (both production and backup machine) share same hard disk (they will share same datafiles..)- I am confused, is this standby? It doesn't look standby for me!

Can anyone give me some idea about that?

Oracle 8.0.5.2.1 (std) on NT 4.0
