No. This becomes and issue when customers star to use EE features like partitioning or wan to run the standby as a primary. Also, this violates our pricing model and should not be done or suggested to the customer. Since a standby database is a block-for-block copy of the production database the standby database is the same flavor of Oracle — e.g., SE or EE — as the production system. See the following for clarification.
