在oracle 10g要准备一个读写备用的数据库还是很繁琐的，准备好dataguard后得手动创建还原点，手动停日志传送，手动激活并强制打开，测试完了，如果主备的SCN差太多，你还得做增量备份追，统计了下需15步，和搭一个physical standby的步骤差不多了，所以用的极少。到11g里终于解放了，启用快照备库只需3步(当然中间重启的次数不算),恢复到实时应用备用也只需2步，日志还是继续传，需要镜像库测试的朋友，可以放心用了(用dataguard borker更简单)。当然转换成Snapshot Standby，是有些附加条件的(没有的参照前文去搭建一个)：
1 数据库闪回得打开；
2 db_recovery_file_dest_size还是要有足够的空间的；
3 如果使用的保护模式是Maximum Protection模式，必须有其他的Standby与之相匹配,否则小心主库宕机。
手动做的步骤如下：
１检查闪回

 SQL> select flashback_on,database_role,open_mode from v$database;  
FLASHBACK_ON       DATABASE_ROLE    OPEN_MODE
------------------ ---------------- --------------------
NO                 PHYSICAL STANDBY READ ONLY WITH APPLY

当前Standby状态是只读Apply状态，这个时候需要终止Apply过程，并且切换回mount状态。否则是不允许进行convert动作的。

SQL> shutdown immediate;
Database closed.
Database dismounted.
ORACLE instance shut down.
SQL> startup mount;
ORACLE instance started.
SQL> alter database flashback on;
alter database flashback on
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-38706: Cannot turn on FLASHBACK DATABASE logging.
ORA-38709: Recovery Area is not enabled.

报错了，这个错误好解决：

 SQL> show parameter db_recovery_file

NAME                                 TYPE        VALUE
------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------
db_recovery_file_dest                string
db_recovery_file_dest_size           big integer 51000M
SQL> alter system set db_recovery_file_dest='/data';
SQL> alter database flashback on;
SQL> select flashback_on from v$database; 
FLASHBACK_ON
------------------
YES

2 转换

SQL> alter database convert to snapshot standby;
SQL> alter  database open; 

有兴趣的可以看下alert_sid.log

检查下当前数据库状态：

 SQL> select open_mode, database_role, protection_mode from v$database;

OPEN_MODE            DATABASE_ROLE    PROTECTION_MODE
-------------------- ---------------- --------------------
READ WRITE           SNAPSHOT STANDBY MAXIMUM AVAILABILITY

已经变成可写状态，查询flash_back开始的SCN:

 SQL> select oldest_flashback_scn, oldest_flashback_time from v$flashback_database_log;

OLDEST_FLASHBACK_SCN OLDEST_FLASH
-------------------- ------------
             1974537 17-MAY-17

从这里开始可以对备库进行任何操作：

SQL> create table  test  as select * from all_objects; 
Table created. 
SQL> select count(*) from test; 
  COUNT(*)
----------
     14629 
SQL> drop table STAGE_TERADATA_OFFLINE_PKEYS purge; 
Table dropped.

切回：
1 关库，切换

 SQL>shutdown immediate
SQL>startup mount;
SQL> alter database convert to physical standby;

这里查看alert_sid.log可以看到
Flashback Restore Start
Flashback Restore Complete
Drop guaranteed restore point
删除了还原点
2 关库，关闪回，启用real time apply

SQL>shutdown immediate;
SQL>startup mount;
SQL>alter database flashback off;
SQL>alter database open; 
SQL>RECOVER  managed standby database using current logfile disconnect from session  
SQL>select open_mode, database_role, protection_mode,current_SCN from v$database;
OPEN_MODE            DATABASE_ROLE    PROTECTION_MODE      CURRENT_SCN
-------------------- ---------------- -------------------- -----------
READ ONLY WITH APPLY PHYSICAL STANDBY MAXIMUM AVAILABILITY     1977350

检查下刚才测试的数据：

该有的还在，不该有的也没有了，挺好。
