On the other hand I considered this question clear, and the information is =
not readily apparent from the DataGuard maniual - I was looking in the wron=
g place. I think the initial response exemplifies that sometimes you need t=
o ask the question 2 or 3 times to get a decent response. Yes it is a simpl=
e query - but getting confirmation from support that our DR solution is sup=
ported seemed sort of important
