Murphy's Laws of DB recovery, it's not a matter of if it will happen,
but when.

I agree entirely but what can I do. I've told my boss of my concerns I
just hope it never happens!

        Why teach a trained monkey to do the job.  Because upper
management is being led to believe that a full time DBA is not really
required to manage their databases.  That the databases and their
accessories (grid control as a for instance) are so simple that the
trained monkey (at a lower pay scale) can do the job.  Problem is, what
does the trained monkey do when he's faced with a plain old vt100
terminal & sqlplus only to fix things?

                Begs the question though.....WHY ask a trained monkey to
do the switchover. This looks to me like it should be scripted or a DBA
task not a manual job for an operator who may make a typo while
connected as SYS, and than what?

                        Has anyone written a guide for a non dba to do a
manual dataguard switchover on Linux Oracle 11g?
