Use the MOUNT
clause to mount the database. Do not use this clause when the database is already mounted.
MOUNT STANDBY DATABASE You can specify MOUNT
STANDBY

to mount a physical standby database. The keywords STANDBY
DATABASE
are optional, because Oracle Database determines automatically whether the database to be mounted is a primary or standby database. As soon as this statement executes, the standby instance can receive redo data from the primary instance.
