The term Standby Database is used in the following situations:

• Standalone Standby Database

  A standby database is a copy of the active database, which you update regularly using the log backups of the active database.

  More information: Database Administration, Standby Databases

• Standby Databases in hot standby systems:

  In a hot standby system, the content in one or more standby databases are regularly updated to match the content of a master database. If the master database fails, one of the standby databases becomes the new master database. Standby databases are always in the STANDBY operational state.
