If A Route Appears In the OSPF Database

But it doesnt appear in the routing information base, what does it actually mean?

I realize that the RIB table is smaller.

It's hard to tell without some output from the router and a diagram. Look at neighbors adj, network type or distribute-list. The one thing we know is the configuration is bad.

Well to keep it simple,

I am doing route redistribution.
The static route in router A is redistributed into ospf in router A.
These routes are then advertised to router B.

These static routes appear in router B OSPF database by not in router B ospf rib.
Why is this so?

I take it this is a lab and not production. Did you use subnet in your routing redistribution configuration and you don't have a stub configured? It will be easier if you show your configuration.
