Primary to Standby to Standby

[jamie.gadong]

Hi to all,

I have a quick question that someone may be able to answer?

I know you can run dbvisit such that for a given primary database you can have more than one physical standby, and I know that the log shipping would go from the primary to each of these standbys, but is it possible for logs to ship to standby 1, then standby 2 be updated from standby 1 rather than the primary, keeping the extra load off the primary server?

Thanks to all who reply.
