Hi All,

I am in need of a clarification regarding the file size growth in Physical Standby Database.Say we have 150 GB size of LIVE DB and we have created the same as in STDBY(150 GB).Will there be a growth in STDBY DB datafiles with respect to the LIVE DBOR only the logs are applied currently to the STDBY and the changes will only be reflecting when there is a switchover or failure scenario????

Thanks and Regards
Karthik M

A physical standby database is a physical image of the primary database, so files are the same ones block per block (but may not be in the same directories).

As the Primary Database grows in size, so will the Physical Standby grow equally. A datafile that autoextends on the Primary is also extended on the Standby. A new datafile added on the Primary is also added on the Standby.

The Physical Standby is a "mirror-image" of the Primary (as of upto the last transactions applied to it).
