Steps to switch Primary to Standby

Step 1   Verify that the primary database can be switched to the standby role.

Query the SWITCHOVER_STATUS column of the V$DATABASE view on the primary database.For example:

SQL> SELECT SWITCHOVER_STATUS FROM V$DATABASE;

SWITCHOVER_STATUS
 -----------------
 TO STANDBY
 1 row selected

A value of TO STANDBY or SESSIONS ACTIVE indicates that the primary database can be switched to the standby role. If neither of these values is returned, a switchover is not possible because redo transport is either misconfigured or is not functioning properly.

Step 2   Initiate the switchover on the primary database.

Issue the following SQL statement on the primary database to switch it to the standby role:

SQL> ALTER DATABASE COMMIT TO SWITCHOVER TO PHYSICAL STANDBY WITH

 SESSION SHUTDOWN;

This statement converts the primary database into a physical standby database. The current control file is backed up to the current SQL session trace file before the switchover. This makes it possible to reconstruct a current control file, if necessary.

Note:
The WITH SESSION SHUTDOWN clause can be omitted from the switchover statement if the query performed in the previous step returned a value of TO STANDBY.

Step 3   Shut down and then mount the former primary database.

SQL> SHUTDOWN ABORT;
SQL> STARTUP MOUNT;

At this point in the switchover process, the original primary database is a physical standby database

Step 4   Verify that the switchover target is ready to be switched to the primary role.

Query the SWITCHOVER_STATUS column of the V$DATABASE view on the standby database. For example:

SQL> SELECT SWITCHOVER_STATUS FROM V$DATABASE;

SWITCHOVER_STATUS
-----------------
TO_PRIMARY
1 row selected

A value of TO PRIMARY or SESSIONS ACTIVE indicates that the standby database is ready to be switched to the primary role. If neither of these values is returned, verify that Redo Apply is active and that redo transport is configured and working properly. Continue to query this column until the value returned is either TO PRIMARY or SESSIONS ACTIVE.

Step 5   Switch the target physical standby database role to the primary role.

Issue the following SQL statement on the target physical standby database:

SQL> ALTER DATABASE COMMIT TO SWITCHOVER TO PRIMARY 

WITH SESSION SHUTDOWN;

Note:The WITH SESSION SHUTDOWN clause can be omitted from the switchover statement if the query performed in the previous step returned a value of TO PRIMARY.

Step 6   Open the new primary database.

SQL> ALTER DATABASE OPEN;

Step 7   Start Redo Apply on the new physical standby database.

For example:

SQL> ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY 

DATABASE DISCONNECT FROM SESSION;

Now enjoy with New Primary database.... 

Standby Manual Failover (open the standby database when primary lost).

 Open Standby in Read-write Mode When Primary is Lost

1.)    Open standby database in mount state :

2.)     SQL> select name,open_mode from v$database;

NAME OPEN_MODE
 ------ -------------
RAJNISH MOUNTED

3.)   
SQL> shut immediate
Database closed.
Database dismounted.
ORACLE instance shut down.

SQL> startup mount
ORACLE instance started.
Total System Global Area 263639040 bytes
Fixed Size 1373964 bytes
Variable Size 230689012 bytes
Database Buffers 25165824
bytes Redo Buffers 6410240 bytes
Database mounted.

SQL> select open_mode ,protection_mode , database_role from v$database ; OPEN_MODE PROTECTION_MODE DATABASE_ROLE
--------- ------------------------ ----------------
MOUNTED MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE PHYSICAL STANDBY

2.) Recover if there is any archive logs:
SQL>recover standby database;

ORA-01153: an incompatible media recovery is active

To solve this issue, we cancel the media recovery by using the below command .

SQL> alter database recover managed standby database cancel;
Database altered.
SQL> recover standby database
ORA-00279: change 2698969 generated at 10/05/2011 16:46:58 needed for thread
ORA-00289: suggestion : D:\ARCHIVE\ARC0000000133_0761068614.0001
ORA-00280: change 2698969 for thread 1 is in sequence #133 Specify log: {<RET>=suggested | filename | AUTO | CANCEL} cancel
Media recovery cancelled.

3.) Finish the Recovery process :

The below command will perform the role transition as quickly as possible with little or no data loss and without rendering other standby databases unusable and to open the database in read-write mode we fire the below command :

SQL>alter database recover managed standby database finish;
Database altered.

4.) Activate the Standby Database :

SQL> alter database activate physical standby database ; Database altered.

5.) Check the new status

SQL> select open_mode ,protection_mode , database_role from v$database ;
OPEN_MODE PROTECTION_MODE DATABASE_ROLE
 --------- ------------------------ ---------------------
MOUNTED MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE PHYSICAL STANDBY

6.) Open the Database
SQL> alter database open ;
Database altered.
SQL> select open_mode ,protection_mode , database_role from v$database ;
OPEN_MODE PROTECTION_MODE DATABASE_ROLE
--------- ------------------------ --------------------
READ WRITE MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE PHYSICAL STANDBY



Now database is open in Read Write mode.

External Table

When you have to upload the data from os file (csv,txt..etc) into oracle db thn u can use external table use the below mentioned step.

1.Make the directry with name "raj" into c drive if having unix so make the directory.

2.copy the your file into raj folder as i have file with name "lory.txt" and below mentioned contents is written in file.

1, This is oracle.
2, this is sql server.

3.Create the database dir....

SYS@orcl>>create directory dir as 'c:\raj';

Directory created.

4. Create the table using below mentioned command.

Wrote file rajnish.txt

    create table sweet
    (employee_id number,
     empl_comment varchar2(250))
     organization external
     (type oracle_loader
     default directory dir
     access parameters
     (records delimited by newline
     fields terminated by ','
    (employee_id char,
    empl_comment char)
    )
    location('lory.txt')
   )
SYS@orcl>>/

Table created.

5. Check now you data has been uploaded into database.

SYS@orcl>>desc sweet
 Name                                      Null?    Type
 ----------------------------------------- -------- ----------------------------

 EMPLOYEE_ID                                        NUMBER
 EMPL_COMMENT                                       VARCHAR2(250)

SYS@orcl>>select * from sweet;

EMPLOYEE_ID
-----------
EMPL_COMMENT
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

        1
 This is oracle.

        2
 this is sql server.


SYS@orcl>>
