Terminating a Primary or Standby Autonomous Container Database

You can terminate primary and standby container databases separately. However, the consequences of terminating a primary container database and terminating a standby container database differ:

  • Terminating a primary container database terminates both the primary and standby container databases. You cannot terminate a primary container database that contains autonomous databases.
  • Terminating a standby container database terminates the standby container database and removes the Autonomous Data Guard configuration from the primary container database, making it a standard container databae.
