Hi everyone, I got this error when I tried to open read only our standby database: (from a 10046 trace) ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1 ORA-00372: file 1 cannot be modified at this time ORA-01110: data file 1: 'F:\XPCWEB\DB\DATA\TBS_SYSTEM_01.DBF' (from alert log) ORA-01092: ORACLE instance terminated. Disconnection forced I saw documents that describe workarounds for this but mostly on primary instances. Standby is a different case, apparently. I've scoured Metalink for an answer and I saw this forum in which an Oracle support personnel tried to point a customer to Note 222460.1 but it doesn't seem to exist. (the customer in that forum also informed the Support personnel that he can't find the said Note). Anyone experienced this in the past? I would appreciate any help.
