Re: starting the database

Fred,

One thing to consider is "Why is the database down?" If it is down for backups, 
maintenance, etc. starting up in the middle of the process would have an impact 
on the work and probably render it useless. If the database has 'crashed', 
attempting to bring it back up can cause serious problems (been there...had to 
fix it). These scenarios are something you will need to plan for and have some 
mechanism for addressing. 

Regards,
Daniel Fink

this available?

Thanks.
