Active DataGuard DML Redirection Guide

This document discusses enabling DML operations on an Active Data Guard standby database in Oracle 19c. To enable DML redirection, the standby must be in real-time apply mode with the primary in sync. DML statements executed on the standby are sent to the primary for redo application before returning control to the application. Some performance overhead may occur. The steps demonstrated configuring a primary-standby environment and successfully executing an insert statement on the standby after enabling DML redirection and starting managed recovery on the standby.

Uzma Parveen 19c NF: DML ON STANDBY

19c NF- Active DataGuard DML Redirection

This new feature allows DML to be executed on an Active Data Guard standby database. When DML
(insert/update/delete) operation is executed the update is passed to the Primary database where it is
executed and the resulting redo of the transaction will update the Standby database after which control
will be returned to the application. The DML is executed preserving all ACID properties of the transaction.

Note: That some of the steps above could potentially introduce some performance overhead.

Requirement for enable DML Redirection:

• The managed standby recovery at the Active Data Guard standby database must be started with
the real-time apply option
• The Active Data Guard standby database must be in sync with the primary database.
• Connection to the Active Data Guard Standby database from a client machine or using a tns string
like '$ sqlplus sys@SUZMA19C as sysdba'

ENVIRONMENT

• Let us understand our environment.

PRIMARY STANDBY
OS / VERSION Oracle Linux Server 7.9 Oracle Linux Server 7.9
HOSTNAME [Link] [Link]
IP ADDRESS [Link] [Link]
DB NAME uzma19c uzma19c
DB UNIQUE NAME uzma19c suzma19c
DB ROLE PRIMARY PHYSICAL STANDBY
DB VERSION 19.3.0 19.3.0

Create Table on Primary and Insert 1 record

Connect to Standby and select the inserted record

Page 2 of 9 [Link]
Uzma Parveen 19c NF: DML ON STANDBY

Connect to Standby and try to Insert new record in to the table

When we try to perform the DML (insert) on standby we get ORA-1600 error.

On Standby Enable the Active DataGuard DML Redirection, then try to insert

To enable the DML on standby use below command:

• Alter session enable adg_redirect_dml

Or

• Alter system set ADG_REDIRECT_DML=TRUE

When we try to perform the DML (insert) on standby after DML enabling on standby but we still get
ORA-1600 error.

Start the MRP and then try to insert the new record

When we try to perform the DML (insert) on standby after starting the MRP this time we get ORA-16397
error

Uzma Parveen 19c NF: DML ON STANDBY

So finally, we followed below steps for succesful Active DataGuard DML Redirection

1. Connect to standby using TNS CONNECTION IDENTIFIER (sys@suzma19c as sysdba)


2. DB must be OPEN with MRP also running (READ ONLY WITH APPLY)
3. Enable adg_redirect_dml

And, this time record was inserted successfully on standby database.

How it works in background

When DML (insert) is done on standy, we do not get the SQL prompt until.

The DML goes to standby and Redo is generated.

The Redo generated is shipped and applied on standby and then we get the SQL prompt.

ORA-02055 and ORA-40509

If DML (Insert) done on Standby takes a lot of time to reach on primary then we will get ORA-02055 and
ORA-40509 error

ORA-40509 error can also be seen in Standby database alertlog.

Post ORA-02055 and ORA-40509 error we need to Rollback the DML on standby.
