Duplicate code - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Duplicate code is a computer programming term for a sequence of source code that occurs more than once, either within a program or across different programs owned or maintained by the same entity. Duplicate code is generally considered undesirable for a number of reasons.[1] A minimum requirement is usually applied to the quantity of code that must appear in a sequence for it to be considered duplicate rather than coincidentally similar. Sequences of duplicate code are sometimes known as code clones or just clones, the automated process of finding duplications in source code is called clone detection. in Software Engineeringwith anti-patterncodecomputerduplicatemultipleoccurrencesundesirable
DUPLICATE database with RMAN duplicate database, which is a copy of the source database (or a subset of the source database) with a unique DBID. Because a duplicate database has a unique DBID, it is independent of the source database and can be registered in the same recovery catalog. Typically, duplicate databases are used for testing. in Oracle > Recoverywith databasedatabasesdbidduplicaterecoveryrmantesting
