I have to agree with you, Jake. For instance, up until this morning, I had no idea who you were. =) When you go through the "wash, rinse, repeat" cycle of finding people with a similar interest and than meeting them for real life at a conference or User Group, it really helps to drive home that point that there are others struggling with the exact same thing (or rather close).

Re: Start Database Services automatically after instance startup

This got me to thinking. The MAA guide does not specify any mount options when adding a standby using srvctl:

I am thinking that there is a way to have CRS put the standby in managed recovery mode, but not finding it easy to find in the documentation. Why is it not made more clear, more obvious? Especially if Oracle is touting this thing called "Best Practices" for "Maximum Availability"? =)

Thanks, I appreciate that. So this really begs the question; "why do they recommend against having CRS put the standby in standby mode?" I am asking from the angle that I have more to learn, and I would like to understand the ramifications of this action.

The DG Broker is another beast. I have heard so many good things about it that I am recommending to our group that we start adopting it. We tried it out in 9i and were burned badly (too complicated, too esoteric, not very friendly).

PS - In light of this post, I am passing out Jeremy's whitepaper like candy to the SunGard crowd, because currently they do not support Services which makes my job as a DBA a little more difficult than it needs to be. Funny how the support staff I am talking has no clue what Oracle Services even are. =) Ah well....

Wow.

Wow.

Congrats on being paid to do what you enjoy doing! That alone is an accomplishment. =) So... umm... I guess our Central Illinois RAC attack is now in the hands of... one person by the initials of JS? Or are you taking him with you as well? =)

May your time with the Big O be full of life, full of challenges, and full of satisfaction.
Kudos,
