Keep a couple things in mind when you talk about automating a standby process:

1. You need to make sure your logs are completely up to date.
2. When you do change from live to the standby, you need to change your listeners.
3. You would need to automate the open of the standby as well.
4. You need to make sure this is foolproof. I would hate to have my standby come up prematurely. Remember, after it goes into live mode, you can not put it back as a standby. At that point, you re rebuilding the standby.

Dear gurus !
I'm about to implement Oracle standby database using oracle 8.0.5 . I need automatic switchover in case of primary site failure , i.e. i need the standby (secondary) database to get opened automatically should the primary site fail.
Is there a way to achieve this ?
I know that there is automated failover capability in 8i managed standby , but we use 8.0.5 :-(
Thanks in advance .
Andrey
