Joerg, of course i was referring to manual standby, and yes you'll need to 
weigh up the cost of managing this yourself against the cost of automating it 
using dg, that said most se customers will be manually managing things like 
performance,  alerts and so on and so on these days - now that the performance 
tab of em etc isn't available to them. I don't honestly see why a manual 
standby is such a big deal now oracle has largely abandoned making management 
functionality available to them.
