Use dump tran[saction]...with standby_access when you are loading two or more transaction logs in sequence, and you want the database to be online between loads; for example, if you have a read-only database that gets its data by loading transaction dumps from a primary database. If the read-only database is used for generating a daily report based on transactions in the primary database, and the primary database’s transaction log is dumped at the end of day, the daily cycle of operations is:
On the primary database: dump tran[saction]...with standby_access
On the read-only database: load tran[saction]...
On the read-only database: online database for standby_access
WARNING! If a transaction log contains open transactions, and you dump it without using with standby_access, Adaptive Server does not allow you to load the log, bring the database online, and then load a subsequent transaction dump. If you are going to load a series of transaction dumps, you can bring the database online only after loading a dump originally made with standby_access, or after loading the entire series.
